[QUOTE="Num7, post: 85900, member: 1"] The Kardashev scale is a method of measuring a civilization's level of technological advancement, based on the amount of energy a civilization is able to utilize. The scale has three designated categories called Type I, II, and III. [B]A Type I civilization uses all available resources impinging on its home planet,[/B] Type II harnesses all the energy of its star, and Type III of its galaxy. Michio Kaku suggested that humans may attain Type I status in 100–200 years, Type II status in a few thousand years, and Type III status in 100,000 to a million years. Taken from Wikipedia: [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kardashev_scale"]Kardashev scale - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[/url] In order to be considered a type I civilization, we would need to be able to gather and consume most, if not all of the energy available on Earth. We could do so by using close to 100% of the solar energy reaching Earth. I suppose that with available technology, it's something that can be done. How far from this do you believe we are? 500 years? [/QUOTE]
