If God wanted us to build Type 1 Civilization, he would have:
1. put a giant fusion reactor in the sky
(emitting blackbody radiation around 5800 K)
2. made 28% of Earth's crust out of a semiconductor with a matching bandgap (~1.1 eV or so)
3. filled the oceans with an alkali metal we could use to store limitless quantities of energy
(sodium or something similar)
That would be a crazy coincidence...
The wellbeing of humanity and the fate of all known life depends on our ability to harness the power of the Sun
The entire world today will look impoverished by the standards of a civilization harnessing even 1% of Earth’s solar resource
