The target of the title might have been the USA (wokisme and stuff)
Got confused to see the thumbnail and the title together, because I love his video and was surprised before watching

So renewable energy is not better? Can someone please supply a non-clickbait title?

Renewable is better, by tons. The title is accurate in that people talking about solar and batteries being bad for various reasons is misleading and wrong.

Does he talk about when commercial solar plants use herbicides? to me that’s the main downside

Your argument seems to imply that the single use consumable fuel extraction economy doesn’t use herbicides or have numerous other much worse effects. You also imply without proof that solar collection systems cannot be designed to avoid the use of herbicides, another spurious whataboutism.
Watch the video yourself. It largely argues that those kinds of whataboutisms distract from the fundamental fact that oil is an unsustainable single use resource, while renewables harvest a limitless supply essentially free energy. Yes, we still have all the same issues we always do with ANY industry at scale, but that is a weak argument for not moving forward with renewables (sunlight + storage tech) and away from consumables (petroleum).
