The Kardashev Scale and Harnessing Energy

The Kardashev Scale classifies civilizations based on their ability to harness energy. A Type 1 civilization can harness all the energy available on its home planet, while a Type 2 civilization can harness all the energy from its star. A Type 3 civilization can harness the energy from every star in its galaxy. We are currently a Type 0 civilization, as we do not harness all the energy available on Earth. The scale raises the question of why we haven't encountered other civilizations, known as Fermi's paradox. Some believe that civilizations may destroy themselves with their own technology or reach a great filter that prevents their advancement.
