Asceticism and pastoralist fantasy are no basis for policies oriented toward the needs of people who are actually living in the world. Nor is the post-genocide fantasy of solarpunk, in which there are mysteriously fewer than a billion humans, all of them with master's degrees or doctorates.
Instead, turn to Buckminster Fuller, who pointed out in the 1960s that the effectiveness of using material resources was growing rapidly — very much because of the use of energy.
