The Future of Energy for a Type One Civilization
2:44:03 - 2:52:17 (08:14)
A Type One civilization will have to harvest solar energy either through a space array of solar panels or through developments in nuclear fusion in order to leave planet earth and sustain their energy needs. However, becoming a Kardashev type one civilization is not seen as a goal in itself due to the increased waste heat that will affect the planet.
