I've discussed at length in months long threads about the intertwined series of potentially positive events in a wide range of human endeavors to create conditions leading up a Singularity or would simply lead to a more positive future. One of them that I outlined is particularly important because it affects everything else: energy!
To be sure, it's a multi phased endeavor, from shale extraction extending "peak oil" almost indefinitely, to traditional solar, to satellite beaming solar, fusion. We will never have an energy shortage. But the period when renewable energy supplants traditional may be at hand soon. A study predicts parity cost within 2 years.
