He goes on to have, what I believe, is a valid complaint: Leftists have ideals which block progression towards our goals.
One example: Instead of building a wind farm, we are arguing about economic impact, and then still stay on coal while we that argument occurs.
I think overall the video misses the point. The complaints are that bureaucracy/red tape/seeking perfection (in states such as CA) prevent society from doing things with impact such as building high speed rail, creating 15 minute communities (Shout out to !15minutecity@slrpnk.net), and providing shelter for all.
This is completely valid, but it has nothing to do with solarpunk.

I agree, we should shut down the coal plants and start rationing energy instead. That way you can be sure that the green energy plants will get built efficiently. Nothing like a little discomfort to get people moving.
(This is only a half-serious point. There is a part of me that thinks this will actually work but overall I think it causes more problems than the gradual change.)
