In reality we're already certain to hit a population maximum in just two+ decades, and not only that but the world is very likely to be on a negative population growth curve after that for some time. And we're going to need some new tech revolution to drive energy demand in developed countries up much more than it is, and the developing world's per-capita demand will not likely exceed the developed world's once fully developed.
I.e., we're not growing forever, the end of population growth is around the corner, and the end of energy demand growth is not much further.
