Christine,

I haven't said that we've depleted the earth's resources or outgrown it. Whether we can stop pollution "almost completely" is a good question. I don't think we will, because of the ever present economic incentives to take shortcuts, and the pervasive mentality of being willing to borrow against the future. Think about something as simple and indispensable as paper. Trees are cut down and pollution is created in the milling process. How are you going to stop that? Quit using paper? How about producing it from hemp instead?

As for Ayn Rand being "cold, bitter and depressed", that is a) someone's perception, and b) probably not the result of her philosophy but rather a response to some life experience, maybe the affair she had? And regarding romance, well that's an area of our lives where any of us can fuck-up, so to speak, and usually do.
