Yeah, it sounds good. It\'s a shallow view of course, because it comes from John Larkin.
Blinders OFF, and that\'s not what you see.
In other words, a scaled-up version of today. Note, however, that the \'more food\'
presumes more people who eat the food, and drink water, yet have low population density
(or very good sewage treatment). More is NOT better if the river runs dry, the
fields revert to desert, the hospitals cannot cope and illness sweeps through the
population. Sewage treatment, and electricity: a dry river hurts both.
Texas has currently 13 million cattle.
That\'s less than in 1975 (16 million), but for now, there\'s enough water and grass for that many.
In 1975, US population was 215 million, now it\'s 332 million. So, where\'s your \'more food\'
story that covers this? Beef per person has gone down near a factor of two. Price is up,
though.
Huh? What disciple of Nostradamus told you that was going to happen?

No, not cringing; crusading, rather, for a better future. You, apparently, think the
future is only better if it\'s a scaled-up version of today.
More food and more electricity sounds good to me.

Alas, the arable land area is NOT going to scale up. Neither is the available radiative cooling
capacity of this globe.
If technology and more CO2 increases crop yield per acre by a factor
of 10 ....
