The aging of European populations will threaten living standards and prosperity. A new sort of welfare state needs to arise. However, the European members are still scattered on which fundamentals they have to build this new welfare state. A model based on individualism and collective facilities only accessible for the more prosperous civilians like the American model or a more Northern Europe (Scandinavian) approach, a model based on solidarity and unity with collective facilities for all its civilian.  
thinking of the whole energy system in future is very important but, it doesn't have to come from just changing energy sources from dirty to clean (renewable) that is one part of the story but what if we could change the usage behaviour of customer in heating, cooling, lighting, use of solar energy, recycling, reduce waste etc... that will save us a lot of energy saving in the future.
