Quite right Jeremy. The response I most often hear to this is "the birth rate will drop when we have sufficient economic growth", but unfortunately as we are seeing the environmental costs of the growth are likely to make our world unsustainable for humans to live in.
I agree that solar power is a good approach, but for meeting baseload requirements we're going to need a good few Nukes. They can produce steady amounts of power all the time, so they can meet day time consumption requirements and at night can provide power for recharging batteries and cracking water to make hydrogen for fuel cells.
