@100 watts per person, primitive living, the energy reaching the earth from the sun is enough to support approximately a million times the present human population, if all that energy were devoted to the support of human life. We are talking quadrillions of human souls. This is a theoretical maximum, practically impossible.
Not to mention harvesting energy elsewhere from the sun, a topic mentioned in high school debate this year.
The supply of energy is almost unlimited. We have the imagination to use much more of it than we presently use. Even a tiny increase in the efficiency of our use of the available energy will allow many multiples of Earth’s present population to live in a style to which we would all like to become accustomed.
We also have the engineers who can’t help but debunk unsound science. Lots more than lives depend upon that.
So, shall we get on with it?
