By definition, growth is unsustainable in the long term.

GDP growth is totally, completely correlated to energy consumption. In the future, energy availability will at best plateau, or more probably decline. GDP growth then will be a blip in a long trend of stability, and steep decline is ahead to fall back to a sustainable level (i.e. entirely from renewable resources, as it was for the past millions of years).
