Yes and no. Energy demand is falling in the developed world. Population growth is flattening.
There's a bunch of people looking to move from developing to developed lifestyles that absolutely represent a lot of future demand. But as it sits today, it looks like there is an end-game for building out new generation, not some ever increasing demand.
