I wish to add another such authentic claim of a European credible source, which says " The Sun offers much more energy than what we could consume. In order to cover world-wide requirements of electric power with the photovoltaic is sufficient only 1.5 per cent of the surface area of the European continent" - which relatively remains cloudy and cast. Around 200 years ago, horse and camels were the available means to travel on land (no aeroplanes) and the total world population was hardly 900 million people, whereas now India alone is a plus One Billion people country. And the world population today is touching 7 (Seven) Billion. Transport Inventions delivered the solution with comfort. So did other scientific innovations in all other areas commencing from the Industrial Revolution from UK/ Europe. The above facts confirm that the nature's resources (even the known ones alone) are in such abundance quantity that we hardly can correctly calculate their actual potency. Now how far are those correct who are worried, scared and scare the rest of the mankind of the so-called Population Bomb. The Creator has provided two hands, two legs, two eyes, two ears, a brain - the most powerful weapon/tool. Is feeding one mouth still difficult? Not at all. More people means more manpower means more productivity-progress-prosperity. One can go on!

I just did a video interview with a green builder in Boulder Colorado and she said the same thing.
