NVDL: A lot of people have been saving energy prices will decline due to demand destruction etc and the Depression. Temporarily, true. The long term trend is that our population is increasing each second. In just 3 years there will be 7000 000 000 people in the world. That's quite a lot of perople who need to eat, drive carts, have their own TV's and other appliances.
UNITED NATIONS – The world's population will hit 7 billion early in 2012 and top 9 billion in 2050, with the vast majority of the increase coming in the developing countries of Asia and Africa, according to a U.N. estimate released Wednesday.
"We are still projecting that by 2050 the population of the world will be around 9.1 billion," she said at a news conference. "The projections are based on the assumption that fertility that is now around 2.56 children per woman is going to decline to about 2.02 children per woman in the world."
The immigrants and the U.S. birth rate will help boost the U.S. population from an estimated 314.7 million in mid-2009 to 403.9 million in 2050, according to Gerhard Heilig, chief of the U.N.'s Population Estimates and Projections Section.
