Actually I think that looking at the world in an objective light is what climate activists tend not to do.  I'm happy to acknowledge the downsides of fossil fuels, nuclear & hydro, but these are demonstrably effective technologies that provide civilization with enormously beneficial energy.  Wind & solar are diffuse and intermittent sources and as such, inefficient users of land, labor, capital & materials as I said.  David McKay is an invaluable resource on the basics of this issue.  https://www.withouthotair.com/

If our objective is to shift to sustainable alternatives to fossil fuels, wind & solar simply don't produce enough net energy to do the job at high rates of penetration.  Look at the EROI studies. In Germany, when all energy inputs are accounted for, PV solar doesn't even reproduce the energy that was required to create it.  It's like having to plant 100 ears of corn to get 83 back next year.  Good luck feeding yourself with a system like that.
