You can't replace petrochemicals with sunlight, let alone convert everything that runs on some form of oil product into eg. electric - not nearly enough rare earths in existence, and hydrogen is not the solution either for the majority for a variety of reasons (starting from ridiculously low energy density to being absolute ass to store)

A large part of oil can be replaced with electricity. Please point to examples where neither solar power or renewable biomass are sufficient.
