It might take 500 years to exploit it all but even a type on civilization has to start somewhere. You can't wait until you are a type one to start doing it.

I wasn't suggesting we all move to Texas and try to make it work; it was just an example of how "crowded" the Earth really is (or isn't). Thanks for doing the math though.
Sounds as if we're both advocating a push forward to becomming Type 1; maybe it's just the goal or motive behind the push that is different?
