U.S. Population to hit 1 billion by 2100

U.S. Population to hit 1 billion by 2100. :eek:
http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/census/2008-04-28-onebillion_N.htm

The nation currently has almost 304 million people and is the world's third most populous, behind China (1.3 billion) and India (1.1 billion). China passed the 1 billion mark in the early 1980s.

Nelson's projection assumes that current fertility rates remain constant but that longevity and immigration will continue to rise.

Room isn't the problem. The vast majority of the US is unpopulated. Resources to support these people may be a problem. We have virtually infinite resources on this planet compared to what we would have on any other planet or moon in our system.

I doubt that.  If we can colonize other bodies, it's safe to bet there's already a space resourcing industry. Any rare materials on those bodies would get mined elsewhere or synthesized/recycled.

Apparently, one in five people in the world are Chinese. And there are five people in my family, so it must be one of them. It's either my mum or my dad. Or my older brother, Colin. Or my younger brother, Ho-Chan-Chu. But I think it's Colin. - Tim Vine.
