This type of decoupling is terrible and can only last for so long. I would suggest checking out Tom Murphy's blog Do The Math where he examines this decoupling in awesome depth [1] [1]: http://physics.ucsd.edu/do-the-math/2011/07/can-economic-growth-last/ http://physics.ucsd.edu/do-the-math/2011/07/can-economic-gro...
