.. if the power would have otherwise been generated using non-renewable sources.

But even when (if?) electricity generation is switched to 100% renewable, we will _still_ need to reduce carbon emissions to reduce climate change, so reducing carbon emissions invovled in the creation and maintanence of renewable electricity seems like a good idea to me.

If your grid is already 100% renewables, you have other stuff to work on before that becomes an issue. For example, transforming industries that depend on oil byproducts.
