The energy bottleneck represents civilization's next critical threshold. Setting an ambitious target—capturing just one millionth of the Sun's total energy output—would unlock over 1,000 times the power currently achievable through Earth-based infrastructure. This isn't mere speculation; it reflects a fundamental shift in how we approach resource utilization.

Why does this matter? Because energy abundance directly enables technological acceleration. When you remove constraints on power supply, innovation compounds exponentially. Half of humanity's major breakthroughs trace back to access to cheaper, more abundant energy. The implications for blockchain networks, computational infrastructure, and decentralized systems are profound—especially as we scale from current capacity toward sustainable, globally-distributed networks.
