Some say the biggest problem in our future is not lack of oil - but lack of potable water. Swedish inventor Petra Wadström has developed SOLVATTEN, an environmentally friendly system that makes unsafe water drinkable using solar energy.
The system combines heat, UV and built-in filter in a specially designed container to clean contaminated water by filtrating macro-organisms which cause diseases.

That's neat, and likely to be useful soon.
We're running out of all kinds of things besides oil and fresh water, like helium (more important than you'd think) and phosphorus (really really important).
