No offense, but no duh. Is there anyone who thinks the drake equation actually gives a real answer?

And it cant be the number of stars in our galaxy because at least half would be totally unsuitable for life because binary + systems. And a good part of the other half are too new of stars to have the correct compositions or burn too hot or too cold (and throught that a star's lifetime comes into account).

It ends up only being about 5% of our stars, or about 2 to 5 new stars a year for the appropriate G type star.
