I used to be very hopeful about fusion, but that really is always 20 years away. Fusion would overnight change the game. The Polywell design showed great promise, but it seems like the engineering problems of scaling it up without leakage and the plasma collapsing are too great.

Hydrogen. 10 years from now people will be trying to figure out how to get rid of their panels in an "eco-friendly" sort of way because they've installed their new fuel cell powerplant in the back yard running on tap water... No more worry about downed power lines causing fires or having thousands lineman at the ready after a hurricane. It will all be distributed, which is the optimum sort of arrangement for a power grid anyway. Only 2 issues I could see with the process in the past, mass producing fuel and safety have been resolved. Only thing that remains is to commercialize the system. I'm tinkering with one of my drones, trying to convert it to hydrogen power for increased range. Unfortunately fishing is much more fun.
