It does, and you can see at the end of his list a tapering of the growth. US energy consumption has grown 1% in the last 10 years, not 1% per year, 1% in total. Now sure, some of that is offset by some shift to imports (energy is expended in China, for the benefit of the US), but not all of it.
However had energy use increased at 2.9% since 1990 it would be nearly twice as high as it really is (4.2GToe vs 2.3 in 2018)
The Earth as a whole, with rapidly industrialising countries like China and India, global energy use from 1990 to 2018 only increased about 1.5% per year.
The world is becoming more efficient, and ultimately there is a limit to consumerism - I personally use less energy today than I did 20 years ago, and I'm sure that's the same for many people in the west. As transport becomes more efficient, there's only so many times you can go on a plane in a year (144 was my own record, but lets say it's 1000), after that point energy use on airplanes can't increase - there just aren't enough hours in the day.
