They didn't say anything about peacefulness being a requirement to speeding up a transition to clean energy.

They also didn't say that it's the peacefulness aspect of the ongoing peaceful changes that is accelerating transition.

You're trying to outreason an opinion, and not only that, but you're also attempting to do so by putting words into their mouth. Please reconsider.

Debating the unspecified nature of a word isn't exactly the most productive thing in the world either. The vast, vast majority of natural language is that way. Kind of a pivotal feature of natural languages really.

I think it's very reasonable to take "Sabotaging any infrastructure harms people. Transitioning to clean energy can be (and is being) sped up by actual peaceful actions." as arguing for the sole usage of peaceful actions. If you feel that's an unfair take, feel free to clarify, but that interpretation seems pretty average.
No, that is a fair take. It's just not what you seemed to have been discussing before.
