Panel 1: A person in a striped shirt and bell-bottom pants is startled by a glowing time-travel effect. An older, balding version of themselves arrives and says, "I'm you! I've come from the past for a glimpse of the future." The startled person shouts, "Who… who are you?!"

Panel 2: The younger person grabs the older one by the collar and urgently asks, "Quick! Tell me the wonders of this new era — is energy cheap and clean as promised?" The older person responds sheepishly, "Well, not really…"

Panel 3: Against a dark, shadowy background, the older figure explains: "The federal government is forcing us to keep burning rocks at expensive coal plants, we're pouring money into rebooting derelict nuclear reactors, and we're still pumping oil sludge through our most precious fresh water resources."

Panel 4: The younger person, dejected, says, "Geez… this future sucks!" The older person replies, "Tell me about it!"

My younger self would be disappointed. It's not like I really expected flying cars by this point, but cleaner, cheaper energy did seem like an achievable goal.
