My preference would be a precipitous but voluntary decrease in population. It would solve a lot of problems from education to fresh water to global warming to funds for building roads not to mention that nasty issue of needing increasing energy resources.

But alas people continue to hold dear their mindless, unconscious, biologically driven need to reproduce.

Thus we need ITER. Even if it doesn't work. Even if it is just a very expensive basic research project. We need it.
