Nope. Spaniards introduced them in the 16th century and natives were late at putting them to use.

A decreasing pop growth rate is not a pop decline; it is a slow in the rate of increase but yes it is still an increase.
True enough, although the trend is a decrease in growth for most all countries, and at some point it will be zero overall. The zeroing of the population growth can either be voluntary, or it can be forced by politics or nature. My guess is it will be a little of both.

Switching forms is cheap; heavens no. But once the switch is made, it will certainly be relatively cheap, otherwise we would still be on fossil fuels.
