Part 2/8:
Modern humanity, classified as a type zero civilization, relies heavily on fossil fuels and other non-renewable energy sources. To evolve into a type one civilization, humanity would need to gain full control over all available energy on Earth. This includes harnessing wind, solar, and hydroelectric power, making fossil fuel reliance obsolete.
Such advancements could significantly improve quality of life, allowing humanity to harness natural disasters for energy and predict weather patterns, thereby reducing casualties from extreme events. Moreover, with advanced technologies, energy costs could plummet, enabling a future where electricity is as fundamental as oxygen and freely available.
