Today, we are going to discuss what a type one civilization would be like. According to the Kardashev scale, a type one civilization would have mastered all the energy available to its home planet including energy that reaches the planet from its home star. It is for this reason, we sometimes refer to this type of civilization as a planetary civilization.
In terms of its energy use, a type one civilization can consume around 10^16 to 10^17 watts. This would be possible since it extracts its energy and raw materials from fusion power rather than fission. It also utilizes a vast pool of hydrogen available in its oceans as well as other renewable energy resources such as solar, hydro, thermal, and wind. So it is not far-fetched to think that individuals living in this type of society probably won't have to worry about their electric bills because of the total efficiency at which a type one civilization would harness it.
