I can't tell if you're trolling, but overpopulation is pretty serious at this moment. Natural resources are stretched. Energy is one among many serious problems.sam04u said:Nuclear Power = Unlimited Clean Energy = Ability to create desalinisation plants = Ability to grow more food = Ability to sustain more human life.
Oil supply will peak, and prices will dramatically increase in our lifetime. There is really no serious replacement for oil in our future. A world with limited oil is looking at a serious energy crisis. Without oil we can't produce food.
Uranium is not all that plentifull, too costly, too difficult.
Coal is the easiest option to power the world for hundreds of years, but this gives some serious problems with waste and pollution.
Water is serious business. There is not enough of it globally. Desalinisation plants are an expensive last resort. Most of the world could not afford to build them for millions of people.
Land productivity is falling in many parts of the world. The USA, Australia in particular have had many years of decreasing output. World fisheries are thoroughly exploited. We are in for long term problems with world food supply.
World Phosphorus production peaked in the late 80's, and will be completely depleted in the near future (~2050). Along with nitrogen, potassium, it is the most vital of fertilisers. There are no substitutes for phosphorus. We can not produce food without phosphorus. We are fucked.
You are deluded if you do not believe overpopulation is real.
Why do you want an ever increasing population anyway? How many people is enough, when does the madness stop?
