This is a very common mis-perception:
Japan has too many people on too littleIt is claimed by scientists that US is the most overpopulated country due to highest per capita consumption of goods & services. It trails Canada only slightly in per cap energy consumption. US imports most of its oil. Quebec provides something like 25% of N.E. US electricity, I think. Water tickles from the North are likely to become a deluge as the Ogalalla aquifer depletes (25 yrs till dry)
land with no natural resources. America has fewer people and almost
unlimited natural resources.
