I see the future: phones come with 1 tiny drop of plutonium (not actually plutonium) and they have enough power for years. Joking of course but we are not that far away from that.

I couldn't disagree more :). I think we are reaching the peak of fossil fuels, and we don't have relevant alternative energies. So we will have less and less energy in the future, and we will need to handle that. Chances are that hydrogen-based planes will be completely useless, because even if we can make them work today (in a world full of fossil fuels), we will need hydrogen for more important things than flying rich people going on holidays.
We talk a lot about climate change, but we have a global energy problem. Unfortunately, we still have enough fossil fuels to finish messing up the climate, so we will do that. But climate change is "just" a complication on top of it: one very big problem we have is that we don't have a replacement for fossil fuels, and fossil fuels are limited.
We will globally have less energy in the future. We should stop wasting it.
