Your last paragraph indicates that you agree with me. I did specify that at this time the world can not all live like Americans. I left open the possibility that in the future this might no longer be true. Hence I don't understand the point of your response. You agree with my statement in the second paragraph but disagree with it in the first. You also ingored the part about environmental damage.

You don't have to mine the moon. The Earth is sufficient.

No. Even right now we can all live like Americans.
For animals, resources are limited. What is there, is what is there.
It's not like that for human. Humans create resources if they need them. If the whole world wanted to live like Americans we could create the needed resources.
Doing so thoughtlessly creates pollution, but it's not an essential part of the process.
