"Jupiter as a Resource for Building a Dyson Sphere Around the Sun"

To construct a Dyson sphere around the Sun, we would need an astronomical amount of resources, including demolishing a Jupiter-sized planet for raw materials, according to science journalist Jaime Green. However, astrophysicist Jason Wright believes that constructing a Dyson sphere could be compared to building Manhattan, with each generation adding a little bit more to the megastructure. Wright argues that if the energy is available and will just dissipate into space, it makes sense to harness it.
