I guarantee you that energy use is going to grow at about 3% per annum over the next 50 years. After that, it will most likely increase.

If we discover cheap fusion, that number will go up.

Oh, and people will still be eating beef, driving personal automobiles, flying planes, sending rockets into space, and powering factories, too.
