The problem is that it's just not true, when formulated in that way.

In that case, you need to provide additional information. Because this coverage is not consistent, since renewables are intermittent and storage appears to be a dream.
"97% of some state's energy production was renewable" doesn't tell you much, because they could be a state that hardly burns any fossil fuels.
"California managed to produce enough renewable energy to power 97% of the needs of a state the size of California" actually tells you how much renewable energy it generated, and why that's a big deal.
