I think his point was that he doesn't like the hairshirt-ism of the environmental movement. Essentially he is acusing them of being a bunch of party poopers for the sake of self-righteousness.
He is partly right, there have been a lot of holier-than-thou types. The problem also is it's a pretty selfish attitude to only care about the environment when it's convenient.
The right answer is of course somewhere in the middle. I feel that things like the Tesla will get us closer to the need not to compromise on fun for the sake of the planet. However until we reach that point we should also consider the impact we are having and look for ways we can reduce the burden we are.
