## Quote — verbatim

> In my lifetime I want to see humanity reach Kardashev scale type one civilization... a civilization that harnesses all the energy of its home planet. There's a lot of energy that comes to our planet — we just don't harness that because we don't have incentives to do \[it\], and the economics don't play out really well... but with this it does.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

Ties incentivized rooftop solar-compute to civilizational energy harvesting; recurring Kardashev theme (also raised in his 2024 Delphi panel).
