Lets cut to the chase. There are just too many people. We don't have an energy

Reduce the world population by 50% and there will be plenty of everything to go

That would just defer the problem. Instead of energy resources disappearing in, say,
a century, it will disappear in two centuries. The problem of waste still remains.

Westerners in general, and Americans and Canadians in particular, have to learn
to live within their means - and that means significant cuts in per capita energy
consumption.
