[Engendered by Population Growth,~ 40% too many of us for
the Ecosystem to support NOW, if/as ROW attains U.S.
Consumption rate will need 3 more planets…]!
- Resulting in “PEAK EVERYTHING”…………!
- A “Solution” is to switch to Halophytes [ “Salt Plants”],
produce food on wastelands using saline/salt water, 22 nations
working this, ‘Solves” Land, water, food, energy, minerals and
climate change. &

There are three emerging
Energetics approaches with the
capacity to provide cost-effective
Desalinization:
- Biomass/ Biofuels produced via
Halophytes using seawater on
Deserts/ wastelands
- Nano-plastic solar PV, 30 cents/
watt
- LENR

2nd Law “Warming” !
The fundamental/major/most worrisome “limit to
growth” is the capability of the planet to reject
(radiate to space) heat. Production of “power”
for human utilization produces, via the second
law of thermodynamics, immense amounts of
“waste heat”--we are only two-to-three orders of
magnitude from a monotonic rise in surface
temperature (required to radiate this waste heat)"
--an excellent measure of a society’s wealth is
currently the power production per capita.As the
ROW attains U.S. energy usage rates and
population increases - This becomes a
‘Limit” [Chaisson]!
