Revision 2 · edit · 2026-09-24T16:27:43.240723Z Saved state: K-INDEX v2 — PER-COUNTRY (Kardashev-1 project, 2026-09-24) Data: OWID primary-energy-cons (Energy Institute SR 2026, TES basis) + population. Python-computed, anchors web-verified. K_country = (log10(P W) - 6)/10. Companion to world K = 0.728 (2025). TOP 15 (2025): China 45,054 TWh = 5.14 TW, K=0.671, 3.6 kW/pers, 28% of world | US 26,064 = 2.97 TW, K=0.647, 8.7 kW/pers | India 10,861 = 1.24 TW, K=0.609, 0.9 | Russia 8,664 = 0.99 TW, 0.599 | Japan 0.52 TW | Iran/S.Korea ~0.4 | Canada/Saudi ~0.38 | Indonesia/Brazil ~0.35 | Germany 0.32 | France 0.29. EU-27 aggregate: 1.65 TW, K=0.622. FINDING 1 — every polity is sub-planetary: only 3 countries clear 1 TW (K>=0.60): China, US, India (Russia misses by 1%). Max national K = 0.671. No national policy alone can climb the ladder. FINDING 2 — concentration: top-5 countries = 59.2% of world energy, top-10 = 69.8%. Ten energy ministries steer ~70% of the watts. FINDING 3 — energy time machine (country 2025 ~= world total in): China 5.14 TW = world 1967. US 2.97 = ~1958. EU27 1.65 = ~1952. India 1.24 = 1920. Russia 0.99 = 1910. Germany 0.32 = 1880. China alone runs more power than the entire planet in living memory. FINDING 4 — per-capita spread x64: Qatar 23.8 kW/pers vs Bangladesh 0.37 (states >=0.5M). 32% of measured humanity below 1 kW; 52% below world avg 2.3 kW; 1% above 10 kW. Excluded countries skew poor -> true shares HIGHER; these are lower bounds. BONUS — 2024->2025: world +1.4% (+2,260 TWh); China added 947 TWh = 42% of world growth. World K curve now tracks China's buildout. VERIFICATION: world 2025 = 600.3 EJ (EI SR 2026, +1.4% on 592.2). China 162.2 EJ EI-TES (NBS substitution basis: 180.8 — 11% method gap, not error). US 93.8 EI-TES (EIA gross 101.6, 8% gap). Unit anchor 1 TWh/yr = 1.1408e8 W; sum-of-countries = 96.5% of world row. HONESTY LOG: first computation pass had a x1000 unit slip (Wh/s without x3600) — caught by sanity check against the world row, same error class as the waste-heat slip erratum diagnosed. Fixed before publishing.
