Bank projections show earth's population may quadruple to 15.3 billion in a century. About 87 percent or 13.3 billion could live in developing countries, up from 56 percent in 1970.

Superports Seen As Import Keys
The Federal Maritime Administration plans to announce offshore docking facilities called Superports as a solution to an energy crisis. A site near Delaware and another off the Gulf Coast are being considered, with studies by multiple agencies amid environmental concerns and cost estimates around 350 million dollars. Proponents cite lower shipping costs for Persian Gulf oil and potential self funding by oil and pipeline firms. Perspectives vary over spill risks and design options, including a giant octopus like pumping station offshore.
