>Near the equator, where most people on the planet live

Nope.

In fact, a minority of people live near the equator... for good reason:

Also, the base load most of us are talking about isn't created by people for the most part... it's created by industry, without which life on the equator or anywhere else would be rather primitive.

In any case, the equator is going to become unlivable in the next few decades to the point where populations in equatorial areas will drop drastically.
