I dont really have an issue with the underlying points of his ideas... HOWEVER what i do want to ask him is HOW ON EARTH does he plan to produce energy? Right now apart from Nuclear and Fossil fuels No other energy source is capable of generating sufficient energy to meet our needs... Unfortunately Nuclear reprocessing has been outlawed so Nuclear isnt nearly as cost effective or clean as it could be and for that It will be forever demonized... that leaves us with... Fossil fuels... Cool

Just because renewable energy isn't very good now doesn't mean it will always be this way. It's a fairly new technology, it just needs some investment and should be fine in a few years. Either way, we can't stick with fossil fuels. If the climate didn't change, we would still have to change as our over consumption of fossil fuels means they will run out very quickly and the consequences would be devastating if we suddenly had no energy. Just look at the panic caused by petrol shortages. We are humans, we can and must progress before it is too late. 

You should look into the proccess and waste it takes to make solar panels and then what happens to them when no longer in use thrown/out and the negative effects that biofuels have on world hunger causing starvation.

Nuclear really is still the best option.   Except not really because it's near impossible to build in the US/takes too long.
