Water being presumably one of the most common things in our galaxy I can only regard this a short term problem and again -tied directly to waste.

[Land, we need lots of it for housing and jobs. Where will it come from? Green belts, the wildlife.
Try thin air, build up not out.
Quote:You cannot have an infinite population on a finite planet. I was taught that back in high school through simulations.
Good thing we're mortal then.
Quote:Was you taught about the rabbits and the foxes? Too many rabbits, no foxes and the resources will be used up, they die. Too many foxes and they die.We are neither rabbits nor foxes. Our pool of potential resources (and our ability to utilize them) are greater than either of those creatures by orders of magnitude. "Too many" is exactly our point of disagreement, so repeating it doesn't really help to sift through the reasons for our disagreement.
(since you seem intent on appealing to consequences that can be so easily questioned then I get to do so as well. Every child that isn't born is potentially the child that could have the eureka moment that solves this very "problem". You are ignoring the value of the human asset greatly, in my opinion.)
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
