the overpopulation crowd probably can't even tell you how many tonnes of rice you need to feed a person for one year (calories wise) or what the yield per hectare of potatoes is. or understand the value of hot water and the cheapness of low grade heat on this planet. they know very little really.

California has ~40 million acres of farmland. Potato yield is about 30,000 lb/acre/year. Potatoes are about 318 calories per pound. That comes out to 381,600,000,000,000 calories per year. Enough to feed 127,200,000,000 people per year. 127 trillion.
