You related to SEIV so I give sort of an answer... In order for us to establish a colony the planet has to be nearly the same as ours.... ie needs to be in almost the same orbitial pattern aswell as tempture and most importantly nearly the same mass. If there is to much mass or to little we will either be extremely heavy or floating around.....Besides it would need a stable core and not to much volcanic activity....

I don't know...Nothing Creates Survival of the Fitest like frequent Volcanic Activity

Some will call this unethical, Some will call this genetic cleansing. I personally call it "Don't live near a smegging Volcano!"

No, never live next a vulcano, your icecream will melt much too fast. And that would be a waste.

My theory is that we're sort of a wilderness preserve. Pre-starflight technological civilizations are so rare that they're set aside for their scientists to study.

I would die laughing if this turned out to be the case.

No, the real reason is because the year isn't 2400 yet.

My reply to the topic is that it is really, really, far.

Thermo, you forget to mention biomass, which is a good renewable alternative to consider to displace the use of fossil fuels.

I know why aliens will not visit us... They were given poor directions and ended up on the otherside of the galaxy. They are now out of gas and stranded.
