A few examples of electric heavy equipment and the stationary machinery that has been electric for a long time does not represent the bulk of the work done to mine, refine, and transport raw materials into finished goods. It all relies on fossil fuels even if parts of the process are electric, or diesel electric (which is diesel then).

So tell us how the 'Arsenal of Freedom' couldn't pull that off.
