Imagine 3 My special day in 2020

My favorite time of the year is Fall. I dream of the colors that are on the trees. Yellow, red, orange and brown a kalidescope of whirling leaves and crisp fall air. Today is a beautiful day because we are celebrating Thanksgiving in Texas. I invite all of my friends and family to the energy producing house that I have designed and built. On my roof I have solar panels because, in the Desert of Texas, sunshine is in abundance even on that clear day. The c**ulus clouds are puffing up in a beautiful azure sky as I prepare the turkey for the oven. The wind starts blowing and my very own energy producing windmill turns and adds extra power to the personal power energy grid for my home. The grid is a series of batteries made from super conductive metals and nanoparticles and catches all of the energy produced by my solar panels and windmill. I turn on my energy saving electric oven and put the prepared turkey in. On my stove top the cooking pots are built in so that I may adjust depth and width with the push of a button. My friends are all laughing and talking while they make the sweet potatoes with homemade marshmallows, green bean cassarole, mashed potatos, corn, a vegetable plate with pickles, black and green olives, cheese stuffed celery, and cranberry sauce. The rolls are put in the oven last of all. Most importantly the stuffing of breadcrumbs and spices will be cooked the last hour the turkey is cooking. We are all hungry from the smells wafting around the kitchen. Pumpkin, chocolate and cherry pie is brought by a neighbor as we prepare to celebrate our survival of the past decade. Solar lights come on outside as the sun starts to set. It has gotten a little cooler but we are warm as the water heated from the solar panels runs under the floor boards and heat the room. Some of my friends have come by bicycle, electric powered cars and two notable guests arrive on horseback. It is a joyous occasion as we celebrate the changes and comfort brought about by changing our use and supply of energy. We have survived another decade and have changed the world to a more sustainable and eco friendly society. All over the world people sing their thanksgiving for we have pulled back from the abyss.
