Yes, the chart does indeed show renewables at 17%. The problem is that 7% of that is hydropower. We aren't building dams for hydropower in the US anymore. Of the top 7 sites in action, the latest one built was 1985.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydroelectric_power_in_the_United_States

So, the rest of renewables are still only 10% while coal is 27%. Meaning? We need to triple solar, wind to eliminate coal, to replace natural gas 6 times greater.

Despite using most of the best sites already.

It's a fantasy, not a reality.
