You are disregarding the dissipation side of energy consumption: i.e., concretely pollution and wildlife destruction. While the supply-side of the equation will at some point prevent growth, the dissipation side is not concerning, but alarming. While in theory economic growth may stem purely from gains in efficiency, historically efficiency gains have spurred so much activity that the total entropy creation has increased nevertheless.
