That is right on the money UTS's. The 6.5 billion people are buying masive amounts of new creature comforts. Almost 1/3 of the human species lives without access to electricity. One new city being built every day for earths increasing population.

The world economy now allows 3rd world countries to have normal basic needs. Like light, heat and running water. Huge worldwide infrastructure being built to provide power. We need exponential amounts of power for a modern world.

E.g. space travel, time travel-lol. I have read time travel really takes a lot of power-lol.

3 gorge dam is equivilant to 15 to 18 nuclear power plants and will serve 120 million people. China and India and the rest of the 3rd world are buying things we take for granted for the first time.

India is building a freeway around their entire country and cars are a huge status symbol. China is building 200, 1 million persons cities 2/3rds the size fo the US. These cities will be built to state of the art engineering water to sewage and power and that takes power.

If one reads Hyperspace by Kaku he makes guesses on different types of future civilizations. The thesis of all of them is how much power they can command.

Like the amount in a solar system or galaxy. Forces are what run the universe! Power-lol!
