Sup, /sci/.

I found this ebook recently, and it's an amazing read, but I'm wondering just exactly how full of shit it is:

Specifically, this chapter right here:

http://www.xenology.info/Xeno/19.2.4.htm

It claims that a Niven Ringworld is within reach both energy-wise and materials-wise of a Type II culture, which to me means that we could have the habitable surface area of three million Earths without ever leaving our solar system. I, however, don't know shit about astrophysics, so I bring this to y'all for discussion.

So, bullshit or possible?
