In my comments on this page, I argue that we already have the technology to sustainably support 10 billion people at the US standard of living. I do want to turn this into a paper, but I have been prioritizing more serious GCRs (I would be interested in finding a collaborator on the resource paper). Of course even if we have the technology, it could be expensive. I also discuss the Limits to Growth books that I think have done the most sophisticated modeling of resource constraints. They predict a crash, but I am skeptical.
