I disagree with you. I say it's the most likely reason for
colonization to another planet, expanding population growth, and
requirement of land to grow food.

In the near future, we'll be a little too busy with fighting over
$1000/barrel oil and of everything else that's unavoidably inflated to
suit, as well as dealing with the aftermath of WW-III, sustaining WW-IV
and planning our last ditch efforts at surviving our next all or nothing
WW-V.

In another unfortunate tit for tat century or two, there may not be
sufficient spare energy in order to launch replacement satellites, much
less anything bigger or of that which has to go further and with
sufficient supplies per passenger.

Mother Earth will have gained roughly 20 meters of extensively polluted
and/or dead-zones worth of ocean depths as accommodating mostly
jellyfish, and a small vertical duplex (two story) unit of a two bedroom
(1000 SF) home that's situated on a minimal 1500 SF lot of high ground
will not likely be available for less than a million bucks per unit, or
rather two million for the pair, and by then your property tax will
likely be at least 3%/year ($2500/month/unit), and don't even ask about
the cost of basic utilities.

So, in that case Venus might not be looking all that bad off, especially
since there's unlimited renewable energy per square meter, plus extra
energy if your abode is situated on a Venusian lot which offers you
something that's geothermally active to work with.

There's actually quite a constructive list of what makes Venus our best
alternative, especially once we've finished off with having raped and
pillaged mother Earth for all she's worth.
