KAKU ON WHAT IF: TYPE II CIVILIZATIONS
Will We Become A Type II Civilization?

Essentially, we’d have to be able to harness all the power from the Sun. According to the Kardashev scale that ranks planets according to their ability to harness the energy from their star and even their galaxy, that would make Earth a Type II civilization.
