You're misinterpreting the comment, almost certainly. The claim is more specifically: "Per given amount of energy generation, renewables are requiring employing more people, likely causing higher energy costs than other methods might" I'm just observing here. Obviously, there's tradeoffs to consider. I don't personally have a stance that this is a problem or that there's currently a better way to make our energy production green.

> Per given amount of energy generation, renewables are requiring employing more people, I don't really see that claimed backed by sources. But short-term, yes probably, it'll take a lot of work install renewable energy sources everywhere. But once installed, maintenance will probably require fewer human hours. And certainly fewer human hours spent extracting raw materials (oil, gas, coal).
