      yes, I think it’s many years in the future but we could get energy from things in space.

      for instance, there is a theoretical design called a Dyson sphere. It’s pretty much wrapping a star in solar panels or another mechanism to extract energy and convert it into usable power.
      we get most of our energy on earth from our nearest star- the sun, imagine what we could do if we could harness the power of many stars!
