Currently 33% of my power is coming from renewables, another 15% from nuclear. There's 0% coming in from coal.

Well I used coal as an example of a source of energy that adversely affects the environment in well understood terms. The point was that looking at numbers in isolation paints a picture much rosier than it actually is.
