It’s technically possible but it would take a truly massive sum of money to get off the ground, and nobody is going to put up the capital knowing they’re not going to get a return on that investment. People don’t get the kind of money required to do this by making decisions like that.

When there is a scarcity of resources a population will shrink to sustainable levels. Right now there are too many people to share the scraps left from the billionaires hoovering up all the capital.
