As it stands some power is renewable and most isn't. How that power is distributed is not really relevant, as long as it does not get in the way of things.

Those windmills are going to produce way more energy than it took to build them.
There is no replacement possible for the density of liquid fuel at that scale for building big things. Or farming. Or mining. Batteries can never do a fraction of what liquid fuel can do in heavy applications.
