Question

Do you believe all people in the world have access to a fair share of the planet´s resources? Why or why not?

Answer 1

Answer:

The earth receives about 8 million quadrillion BTUs of energy from the sun every year. The total annual energy usage of the human race is 400 quadrillion BTUs and this is projected to go up to 3000 quadrillion BTUs by the year 2075.

So, we just need to tap 0.005% (0.04% in the year 2075 and growing slowly thereafter) of the energy that the sun sends in our general direction... Once we do this, we can stop worrying for about 5 billion years. It is that simple.

Why aren't we doing it ? Because we lack the technology.

Now, technology is entirely a product of human ingenuity. Ergo, what we are lacking are (the right) human resources.
