<<I think its very likely that a generation out we will use more energy (in total and per capita) than we do now, 100 years from now still more, 500 years from now even more, 1000 year more again, and so on for some time barring a major civilization threatening or destroying catastrophe (large scale nuclear war, comet or asteroid impact, large super-volcano eruption, or something similarly big)>>

I would call this the "keep you fingers crossed" approach.
