What if instead of mansions, yachts, and private jets the people of Hollywood in the 90s and 2000s were more interested in turning their smog covered city
into a utopia with electric cars and green public transport powered by solar, fusion, and nuclear power?
They were also inspired by the French to improve management of nuclear technology.

What if instead of being obsessed with owning BMWs and Porsches they supported the funding of electric car development much earlier causing Tesla like cars to be as common in the late 2000s as they are in our timeline's 2023 America?
What if they also supported increasing NASA's budget to at least 1 percent?
Which to leads to humanity having a permanent presence on Mars and the asteroid belt with both crewed and robotic nuclear power spacecraft by the 2030s and fusion powered spacecraft by the 2050s as well as small asteroids that have been spin up to provide gravity for habitats within those asteroids providing shelters to miner astronauts.
And they were excited about funding fusion and 3d printed houses as well leading to those things being commonplace in 2030s American society.
America would also have to improve it's education system to make all of that happen.
That has been done before.

It seemed like 90s and 2000s American high school youth were more excited by materialism rather than being excited to build a better future like 60s kids were.
Has materialism distracted people from building a better world?
Should the world have committed to this vision back in the 90s regardless of economic cost?
Perhaps Disney can use "EPCOT" to promote this vision.
