Solar panels and Steel Windturbines are manufactured from hydrocarbon feedstock.
Solar and wind drawdowns are powered by natural gas peaking.
Transporting energy intensive Cement and other feedstocks that are manufactured in areas of "renewables viability" are moved with non-renewables sources. (low sulfur bunker fuel maritime ships, diesel-lng-cng trucks, and large earth movers)
Most of the world's volumetric cement consumption happens in areas with low quality/intensity solar.
