Since you're setting this far into the future, it stands to reason that there would be some significant scientific advancements during that time. Just postulate a synthetic element (you have my blessing to call it 'borudium') that transforms magnetic fields directly into usable electricity.

Because it's Sience Fiction, not fantasy
It should stick to the known laws of physics or possibly add something new and explore the possibilities
(that's why I hate Star Wars.... space craft flying and banking like planes in an atmosphere, it's just wrong! Also super high tech Light Sabers that look and act like illuminated swords)
The meek shall inherit the Earth, the rest of us will fly to the stars.
Never underestimate the power of very stupid people in large groups
Arguing with an engineer is like wrestling with a pig in mud ..... after a while you realise that the pig likes it!
