There are plenty, look at all the mayors who pledge their cities to 100% renewables in 15 years or so after the US pulled out of the Paris.

We are on the verge of a battery technical breakthrough that will make the internal combustion engine a thing of the past, like oil lamps fueled by whale oil and gas lamps fueled by coal gas.

Wake me up when batteries are built on a level of more than a few GWh/year when human electricity consumption alone is more than 20,000 TWh/year. The economics of batteries, even at $100/KWh don't work with the intermittency of wind and solar and there is serious doubt about whether there's even enough cobalt to build all those batteries.
