It's poor SF conditioned by a focus on energy.
Unless People are txing at us from less than maybe 5 ly, only spectroscopic analysis of planet transiting a star is likely to reveal much. A more advanced society might use less energy!

@raymaccarthy @isotopp Kardashev's work was published in 1964, a time when our understanding of technological development *was* energy bounded rather than infomation bounded. A huge amount changed after roughly 1973-74!
@cstross @raymaccarthy I know but the press amplifies Space Karen's nonsense with zero fact checking
@isotopp @raymaccarthy The press these days are stenographers for corporate press releases, not actual journalists.
