It's the part where you seem to be arguing that you can have an economy that's not based on energy that has me puzzled.

I agree that you can have some portion of your economic activity that doesn't require (much) energy directly, for example the performing arts, but at some point you have to make the bricks to build the buildings to house the artists, right? You can do that with energy stocks (like fossil fuels) or energy flows (like wind and solar) but you still need energy in some form.
