It may be unrealistic to expect people to always take a bicycle to work, among other things. Small actions taken wherever possible can still make a difference, which is better than those who find excuses to keep doing what they've always done. Like the author of the article. Electrification is a step forward, but progress doesn't stop there. Sometimes, taking one step at a time is better than attempting three steps and failing, or worse, waiting for everyone else to take three steps first. If you don't need a car, that's great, but I'll keep mine as long as it makes sense for me. I don't believe resources are running out; technology is continually advancing, and there's already substantial progress in every conceivable industry.
