In an energy-rich environment, evolution should select for faster and faster reproductive rates.

Perhaps so, but humans are reproducing later and having fewer offspring, so there are more variables than just energy.

Environmental stresses are well-known to cause reproduction rates to plummet. That can be because of a lack of available food, but it can really be any sort of stress.
