How many people can this world sustain? Are we near the end? The following graph is very thought provoking and I wonder how much higher the graph can go!

So, if my calculations are correct, Texas is 6,000,000,000,000 sq. ft big?
EDIT: Yep, it's much bigger in fact.

How many people can this world sustain?
Comfortably, about ten billion people. With fusion energy in a hydrogen economy, I'd say about a hundred billion people. If we really had to cram it we could accommodate a trillion people, but we'd then have something that's more of a Borg cube than a planet.
With a trillion people on plan et earth, most of the landmass would be citylike, with dozens of levels below the ground and lots of skyscraper cities. You'd have cities floating on the ocean, submerged cities in the ocean and cities on the bottom of the ocean. You'd have sky cities floating on ginormous balloons of hydrogen high into the stratosphere. You'd have cities orbiting the planet.
But we're not supposed to do that, we're supposed to move into space and spread out among the stars. A good number of people on a planet like this is one billion people. Population control can help: if we allow two kids per family, enough families will opt for one or none and population will decrease. We can handle this, or mother nature will do it for us the hard way.

How big a cage would you put a human in? I'd say the bare minimum a person needs would be a hectare (100x100mtr), most of it being public space.

I did the math (roughly) and suprisingly he is correct.
Texas is ~270,000 square miles or 7,527,168,000,000 square feet.
Giving 6billion people 1000sqft. each comes out to 215,220.39 square miles.
