Scientists conducted a study based on the theory of Russian scientist Nikolai Kardashev, which suggests that by 2371 humanity could reach the first level of development on the Kardashev scale. This level means that we will be able to fully utilize all types of energy on Earth, including solar energy.
Kardashev’s theory suggests that at this stage of development, humanity will be able to use solar energy in a volume that exceeds the power of several atomic bombs. We will be able to use this energy for our needs, including the possibility of moving to other planets, writes Pravda.Ru.
Scientists also used a model based on Carl Sagan’s formula to estimate the consumption of fossil fuels, nuclear power and renewable energy sources. At the same time, they took into account environmental restrictions established by the UN and the International Energy Agency.
Scientists’ forecast suggests that in two hundred years human civilization will reach the first level of development. This will become the basis for leaving the Earth and moving to other planets. One of the reasons for this step is the alleged deterioration of living conditions on Earth. To ensure the efficiency and sustainability of energy systems in the future, scientists recommend actively developing renewable and nuclear energy sources.
