I love it when someone write a well-researched article better than I can ever hope to!
This should add much perspective to the immigrations versus environment discussion.
Knowing what this article predicts should make us all reconsider plans for the future.

The premise of this article is great, but I may have bone to pick with the author about the US being the biggest oil exporter in 1950. I have to go dig uo a couple of papers to find the data- but I think we were only the number 1 oil exporter if you count US firms that were extracting oil in foreign countries (like Venezuela and Saudi Arabia). Venezuela tried to form an OPEC org as early as 1958 in response to declining prices paid by the US.
