The population growth rate in the US is a negative among current citizens, the only growth in population comes from immigrants - legal and otherwise. The average woman in the US is expected to have 1.8 children, to even maintain the current population the number must be 2.

The US population is mostly static, while other "Western" countries are actually in decline. The same graph (if accurate) in Europe would show the greatest DEPOPULATION since the Black Plague in the Middle Ages. Japan and China are looking at the same issue.
Why do you think there is so much concern for Social Security? The number of YOUNG PEOPLE are declining as a percentage of population.

As for Bio diesel, who said it had to replace all existing diesel? If it only knocked off 20% of domestic usage it would reduce imports by nearly half. Sounds like a winner.
