We're headed for what is called type 1 civilization, planetary civilization. type 2 would be stellar civilization, like star trek. type 3 civilization would be galactic, like star wars. we are type 0. we get our energy from dead plants, oil and coal. but the question is: will we make it? will we make the transition from type 0 to type 1? it's not clear.

We're Headed For What Is Called Type

More From Michio Kaku

How did we make the transition from using wood to using coal, from using coal to using oil, from using oil to using natural gas? how in god's name did we make that transition without a federal energy agency?
Oil Agency Government
Letting the perfect be the enemy of the good is one of the reasons we have a coal-dependent infrastructure, with the resulting environmental impact that all of us can see. i suspect environmentalists, through their opposition of nuclear power, have caused more coal plants to be built than anybody. and those coal plants have emitted more radioactive material from the coal than any nuclear accident would have.
Impact Perfect Enemy
Coal, oil and gas are called fossil fuels, because they are mostly made of the fossil remains of beings from long ago. the chemical energy within them is a kind of stored sunlight originally accumulated by ancient plants. our civilization runs by burning the remains of humble creatures who inhabited the earth hundreds of millions of years before the first humans came on the scene. like some ghastly cannibal cult, we subsist on the dead bodies of our ancestors and distant relatives. - dr. carl sagan
Running Humble Long Ago
When the president is making it harder to mine coal, to use coal, to take advantage of our gas resources, to make it harder to get our oil resources - all those things combine to make our cost of energy higher than it needs to be, and it drives away enterprises from this country. it sends it to places that have lower-cost energy.
Country Oil President
Coal is a portable climate. it carries the heat of the tropics to labrador and the polar circle; and it is the means of transporting itself whithersoever it is wanted. watt and stephenson whispered in the ear of mankind their secret, that a half-ounce of coal will draw two tons a mile, and coal carries coal, by rail and by boat, to make canada as warm as calcutta, and with its comfort brings its industrial power.
War Mean Science
It's not as though we can keep burning coal in our power plants. coal is a finite resource, too. we must find alternatives, and it's a better idea to find alternatives sooner then wait until we run out of coal, and in the meantime, put god knows how many trillions of tons of co2 that used to be buried underground into the atmosphere.

I'd like to direct at some point. but i don't know because 10 years ago i would have never imagined that i'd be here. so in 10 years from now, i might be running a rodeo.

In my prayers, i want to say: lord, don’t be far from me, and also don’t come too close. let me contemplate the stars on the texture of your cloth, but don’t unveil your face to me. allow me to hear the rivers that you send running, but lord! lord! don’t allow me hearing your voice
