I fun thought experiment but before anyone does a nude run down main street screaming "we are all doomed" think about this. Our energy use is driven not only by technology requirements, but also population growth, which is likely to be far more limited in the future due constraints of land and food.

Don't forget that richer humans tend to get fewer kids too (this is only natural as the better life you get, the less improvement to your standard of living a child is until it dibs to negative when you move of the farm and into the city).
Actually rich men in developed countries have more kids (http://www.healthlibrary.com/news1672.htm )than poor men in the same countries.
