70. We've got lots of food...
...but many of the systems that process that food and deliver food to where people live can break down. Like I said, I'm not certain things would get so bad, but the interconnected systems that keep cities fed and supplied with water are very complex, and very energy dependent.

Those systems may be more fragile than we know, and I'm not at all happy that we could soon be doing the experiments that would put them to the test.
