Akhenaten: Malthusians have been and will always be totally wrong. It’s not a question of population increasing, but of that increase outstripping resources. In reality, as population increases, living standards, life expectancies, etc., constantly improve. The Malthusians insist population increase is to be dreaded as they are convinced it will lead to mass starvation. Reality has and continues to prove them wrong. And fusion energy will be a very big blow to their doom and gloom prognostications.
