Degradation of our Natural Resources
At current rates of use, the non-renewable energy sources, oil, and
natural gas will be commercially exhausted by about 2050.
Immigration-generated population growth is a major factor causing an
annual loss of more than 2 million acres of prime cropland to development
erosion, salinization and water-logging.
Each year, we pave over or convert to developed uses an area of land equal
to the size of Delaware.
If current population growth trends continue, the U.S.A. will cease to be
able to export food by about the year 2030, thus losing approximately 40
billion annual income from export sales.
Every year U.S. aquifers are being depleted, on average, 25% faster than
they are being replaced.
