You could teleport two more Jupiters into our solar system, burn them, and the sun would still round up to 100%.

As long as you're at 99.6%, you're still rounding up to 100%.

Maybe that gives some perspective of why solar is really the thing that matters.

And as soon as you start thinking about things at sort of a grander scale, like Kardashev scale to civilizations, it becomes very, very obvious.

I'm not saying anything that's new, by the way.

In fact, Kardashev, I think, was a Russian physicist who came up with this idea, I think, in the 60s, just as a way to classify civilizations.

Where Kardashev scale one would be you've used, you've harnessed most of the energy of the planet.

Kardashev scale two, you've harnessed most of the energy of your sun.
