Here’s another idea I just came up with, that doesn’t harness dark energy itself so much as the Hawking radiation of the de Sitter horizon. A civilization could build a sphere around a cold black hole (I.e., a rotating or charged black hole whose Hawking temperature is lower than that of the

Why the cosmological horizon?  The CMB is at 2.7degK, which is waaay hotter than any black hole you're likely to find.   So you can just put a heat engine between the CMB  and the BH. Brent On 4/8/2019 12:29 PM, Mason Green wrote: Here’s another idea I just came up with, that doesn’t harness
