I think it's a perfectly reasonable conclusion. Supposing a future with 0 to low fossil energy usage, we'll all need to adjust.

If you want governments to do whatever needs to be done to limit climate change, you also need to be willing to "pay the price" in the form of reduced material comfort.

Besides, there are quite a few people (a big chunk of the world population actually) living today without dish washers, without microwaves and without coffee machines.
