Yes, Jon I've heard, and even studied this idea at various times. But more energy doesn't change how it's used - the lion's share is for weapons production. It's kind of like the Modern Economic Theory. More doesn't get you improvement in quality of life. Growth economies such as what has been advocated for a couple of centuries doesn't change the trajectory regardless the energy source.
JFK was still in a time when the Great Depression and WWII were in the rear-view mirror and the landscape was still vast.
