Thankfully, the planet contains abundant stores of Uranium.. and we are nowhere near peak efficiency in commercial and industrial processes. These one dimensional analysis of the problem are particularly useless, especially when their only conclusion is "we must stop growth."
The average power usage may well be 2000W, but how many average consumers are there? If we're facing a multi-mode distribution of those users, then this "stop growth" strategy instantly creates new "castes" from this distribution. As a long term strategy, it seems doomed in one way or another.
