There is potential to produce at least 100 times more energy than is currently generated.

"Type I: A civilization that can access and utilize all energy available on its planet, spanning renewable and non-renewable sources like solar,

wind, geothermal, and fossil fuels. Achieving this level would require global teamwork and advanced technology to efficiently manage planetary resources, with an estimated energy use of around 10^16 watts.

Presently, humanity stands at roughly 0.7 on this scale, as complete harnessing of Earth’s energy remains unattained."
