PGP is great. Everybody in tech has the skills to use it. But for non tech people it is still to difficult. But since the NSA affairs many crypto parties happened, specially in Germany. On this crypto parties tech people are teaching non tech people how to crypt emails with PGP. I think that is a good start and I hope we will see more crypto parties in future.
Won't happen unless there is a war-like situation with not only widespread surveilance, but also widespread use of surveilance. I would be willing to bet on it. Large groups of people simply have too short attention span, and the cost of not using encryption is too small (the cost of using encryption is too large).
