Are you implying that nuclear is not renewable?

Tidal wave energy usage would cause us to lock with the moon in 1000 years

Wow. Good thing it hasn't caught on and shows no promise of doing so.

"Energy consumption has decoupled from population growth rates and economic growth." and no citations...

Every bit of human progress we make is through more energy usage. Are we reducing the rate we build infrastructure? Are we building and manufacturing fewer things? Have we reduced transportation of people, goods, and services? No, it always goes up.

How are we going to dig ourselves out from under the weight of oil? Building renewables. They require massive amounts of energy.

It's all energy. The more energy you can harness the more comfortable your life will be.
