How to get to 10 trillion people in this solar system?

Marshall Savage, in "The Millenial Project", estimates that the solar
system has enough resources to *easily* support 5 billion billion
people. These habitats, though, were zero-G ones he envisioned.

And even this might be conservative, since when he wrote the book in
1994, the Edgeworth-Kuiper Belt with its huge reserves of volatiles
had only just started to be discovered.
