I suppose it means capturing energy and using it for useful purposes. I don't think 'harnessing' is a good description, except in forms like hydro or wind, where the energy exists and we do have to collect it. Mostly energy is released by human activity, burning fossil fuels or using uranium, and if we didn't release the potential it would stay unused.
