It would suffice not to build any more of them. Then it would be 100%, with somebody else still wasting money on those ramshackle overpriced contraptions.
What we desperately need to fend off looming climate catastrophe is for every dollar spent on energy to displace the largest possible amount of carbon emissions. We get several times as much such displacement by spending that dollar on renewables. And, we get that displacement immediately, not ten or more years on, after spending as much more on coal in that time as would pay the entire capital cost of the renewables.
And, we do not then spend a great deal more on servicing that equipment every year, but can instead use that to build out more carbon emissions displacing equipment.
Starting a new nuke brings climate catastrophe nearer.
