Energizing Earth
A global transformation to harness our planet’s full power and propel us towards planetary civilization.
Current Progress
Global energy production remains heavily reliant on fossil fuels, with renewable sources growing but still a minority. Significant disparities in energy access persist worldwide, and overall production falls far short of Type 1 Civilization levels.
Goals and Roadmap
Our path to becoming a Type 1 civilization hinges on a dramatic transformation of our global energy landscape. By 2054, we aim to quintuple our current energy production to 800,000 TWh yearly, with 80% coming from renewable sources. This ambitious goal requires a multi-faceted approach: rapidly scaling up solar and wind power, ushering in a new era of advanced nuclear energy including fusion, pioneering space-based solar power, and harnessing the vast potential of our oceans.
To achieve this, we must deploy 1 TW of new solar capacity annually by 2030, commission 1,000 new Generation IV nuclear reactors by 2040, and achieve commercial fusion power generation by 2035. Simultaneously, we need to revolutionize energy storage and distribution, constructing a global superconducting grid managed by AI and implementing smart grids in 80% of urban areas worldwide by 2035. We must also develop grid-scale storage with 1 TWh capacity in every major city by 2040 and reduce its cost to under $10/kWh by 2035.
These interconnected goals represent key milestones in our journey to harness the full energy potential of our planet. Throughout this transition, we must prioritize efficiency and smart demand management, aiming for a 50% improvement across all sectors and achieving 99.99% uptime for global energy distribution by 2045. This monumental undertaking will require unprecedented global cooperation, relentless innovation, and a fundamental restructuring of our energy infrastructure, propelling us towards true planetary civilization status.
