Almost none of that is correct, except in the specious sense that most of those technologies run on electricity and electricity is still made from fossil source

Almost none of that is correct, except in the specious sense that most of those technologies run on electricity and electricity is still made from fossil sources in most areas. In some cases it's sort of laughable: solar panels are just semiconductors, everything about that industry is electrified (most of the power input is in growing the wafer out of molten silicon).
Basically your argument is circular: you're saying that renewable electrification can't happen because electricity is made from carbon. But as electrification proceeds that becomes untrue by definition.
