Yes and no.

If GDP is as tightly-coupled to energy use as data suggest, and we presume, say, 4% annual growth rate, then we have a slight issue.

10,000 times is just over 13 doubling periods' worth of growth. And 4% annual growth rate means doubling every 13.3 years, roughly.

In which case, humans would cut into that 10,000-fold margin in slightly over 230 years.

Which suggests that there are in fact limits to growth.
