straight dope estimated that the planet can easily support 20 billion as long as they were spaced evenly (which obviously isn't going to happen, but). the problem right now is that it takes a long time to build a nuclear plant, and we don't currently have that much time. plus to make them triple-efficiency we have to allow the risk of someone stealing the plutonium and bombing the shit out of someone else.
