And how do you power those plants? The fact is that matter is conserved and energy is conserved. The fact is that even at 100% efficient use of all resources, there would come a point where an unchecked population would be larger than what could be provided for. If the “magic number” turns out to be 50 billion - based on heretofore undeveloped technologies, it still does not alter the basic argument.

The only possible solution is to make it attractive to not have huge families so that those who have five kids are balanced by those who chose to have careers and only have one kid.
