If we had a surplus of electrical power, it would make more sense to continue with burning geologic fuels anyway. They are energy-dense and easy to handle. If there is any shortage, they can be synthesized from any carbonaceous material and water.
Most people are unaware that much of the oil that Germany used during WW2 was synthetic.
Germany itself doesn't have oil, but they found out a method to produce syntethic oil from coal, which they still have plenty of to this day. Of course, to save their reserves, they preferred taking oil from occupied territories but that other story.
That practice began for them in World War I. South Africa used the process when it was faced with embargoes over apartheid.
