Every time I write a column on what causes overpopulation in America, a plethora of emotional readers make disparaging comments about my life, what kind of a person I am, and finally, they attack me—not for the message—but for being the messenger. Additionally, many more thank me for my candor and courage to speak up!

Citizens of  the United States, this month, June 2009, our civilization cannot be sustained at the current living and consumption standards. It’s called “overshoot.” We import 12 million out of the 20 million barrels of oil we burn daily. Experts in oil report the “Hubbert Curve” states that “Peak Oil” will hit around the last part of 2010. At that point, no matter how much we drill, we cannot and will not keep pulling 85 million barrels out of the Earth to fuel our machines that grow our food. Additionally, no amount of alternative energy will save us or maintain our current modern civilizations.

To show how much energy oil provides the U.S. annually, Michael Brownlee of www.transitionbouldercounty.com provided an astounding graph of one cubic mile of oil. That’s how much oil the world burns each year! That equals the same amount of energy provided by 52 nuclear power plants built every year for 50 years or 104 operating coal-fired electrical plants built every year for 50 years or 32,000 wind turbines built every year for 50 years—and in continuous operation—or 91,250,000 solar panels built every year for 50 years.

In other words, oil produces dramatically incredible amounts of energy that we cannot and will not be able to duplicate in the coming years.

Did you get that?

Thank you for considering one of the foremost experts on our dilemma:

“As we go from this happy hydrocarbon bubble we have reached now to a renewable energy resource economy, which we must do in this century, will the “civil” part of civilization survive? As we both know there is no way that alternative energy sources can supply the amount of per capita energy we enjoy now, much less for the 9 billion expected by 2050. And energy is what keeps this game going. We are involved in a Faustian bargain—selling our economic souls for the luxurious life of the moment, but sooner or later the price has to be paid.”  Walter Youngquist

Now, what names will you call him?

Additionally, we do not have enough water to sustain another 100 million people in this country? What kind of a name will you call me for that fact? What would you call the Salt Lake Tribune for reporting the facts?

The West is hurtling toward a water crisis; www.sltrib.com/opinion/ci_11417265

“Overpopulation will be the major factor in the destruction of Utah, the second driest state with the fastest growth rate with the highest birthrate.” Bernard DeVoto said, "The future of the West hinges on whether it can defend itself against itself."

How about a name calling fest for the brilliant Dr. E.O. Wilson at Harvard?

“The raging monster upon the land is population growth. In its presence, sustainability is but a fragile theoretical construct. To say, as many do, that the difficulties of nations are not due to people but to poor ideology and land-use management is sophistic.”

How about a few names slung at these top 102 Nobel Prize laureates:

“Pressures resulting from unrestrained population growth put demands on the natural world that can overwhelm any efforts to achieve a sustainable future. If we are to halt the destruction of our environment, we must accept limits to that growth.” World scientists’ warning to humanity, signed by 1600 senior scientists from 70 countries including 102 Nobel Prize laureates, November 18, 1992

In other words, instead of name calling, what solutions do you bring to the table?

My solutions:

1. Promote and offer reproductive choices and Family Planning worldwide to all people in all countries.
2. Help third world countries with tractors, sanitation, food production and water purification.
3. Reduce immigration to the USA to 100,000 a year because that’s how many egress the country annually. Net gain of zero! That would move America toward a sustainable future for all citizens.
4. That would encourage other countries to become responsible for their own populations and take responsibility for their futures.
5. Institute a “US Sustainable Population Policy” to bring about a discussion and debate about population in America. Similar policy for each state.
6. Institute a “US Water Usage Policy” to secure ample water for humans, crops and animals into the 21st century.
7. Institute a “US Environmental Impact Policy” to allow all plants and animals a share of their existence and sustainability alongside humans.
8. Institute an “International Sustainable Population Policy” to promote a stable population of humans for the entire planet that will allow humanity to survive into the 21st century.
9. All-out scientific pursuit for a non-polluting alternative energy to drive the engines of humanity safely into the 21st century.
10. What are your ideas for a viable future for this civilization?

Let’s get down to business to bring about a sustainable future for our kids, and all plants and animals here in the early years of the 21st century while we still have a viable planet.

 Bob Woodruff of ABC asked input from all citizens concerning the future of our planet.  Go to www.earth2100.tv for a sobering reality check as to what we face and to what I have been writing about for the past 20 years.  Our ‘window’ to change to a balanced population and non-polluting energy diminishes every day we listen to irresponsible media and thus ignore the blatant symptoms manifesting all over America and the planet.

From: Frosty Wooldridge 

This three minute interview with Adam Schrager on “Your Show” May 4, 2008, NBC Channel 9 News, addresses the ramifications of adding 120 million people to USA in 35 years and six million people to Colorado as to water shortages, air pollution, loss of farmland, energy costs and degradation of quality of life.  In the interview, Frosty Wooldridge explains the ramifications of adding 120 million people to the USA in 35 years. He advances new concepts such as a “Colorado Carrying Capacity Policy”; “Colorado Environmental Impact Policy”; “Colorado Water Usage Policy”; “Colorado Sustainable Population Policy”.  Nationally, the USA needs a "National Sustainable Population Policy" to determine the carrying capacity of this nation for the short and long term.  Wooldridge is available for interviews on radio and TV having interviewed on ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN and FOX.
