But it could be very expensive.  Real wages have not increased in well over 
six years and may not do so for many more.  People living on minimal 
investments or a fixed income may find themselves squeezed very 
hard.  Energy costs will increase, the article on the Jack well indicated 
that oil has to remain in the $67 range to make the wells economically viable.

And Iran is talking of doing the same.

The internet is great! I went looking for the world population in the 
year 1700 and found this site http://www.census.gov/ipc/www/worldhis.html

The table shows somewhere around 600 million in 1700. It wasn't 
until  'around' 1800 that we hit the billion mark.

This kind of large scale population reduction is real scary stuff.
Interesting times these days....
