The goal here is to scale things to what is needed and in a way that is feasible, i doubt solar panels would've been feasible as a scaling method for energy during that time, much less electric cars, or even less likely, farming strategies and equipment that are ecologically less 'problematic'.
not only that but the destructive nature of it was also wonderful to society overall, our living standards skyrocketed to an unfathomable degree during said revolution.
talking about the ecological destruction -while an important aspect- is irrelevant to the argument of scale to meet people wants and needs.
Think about it this way, would you be talking about the ecological destruction in an 1800s meeting to scale up farming and husbandry efforts to meet the demands of that time?
If the answer is yes, then would you be willing to delay/postpone the efforts until there are better technologies that are more ecologically friendly to exist and then accept/allow these efforts?
If the answer is no, then it is , like i said, irrelevant.
