Nope, you're still wrong. What will go up is emissions, as nuclear is replaced with coal. However the percentage of renewables will continue to rise, as new wind and solar is installed. It's just a bit curious that for a while, at least, emissions and renewables percentage will both be rising simultaneously.

True, but not related to replacing nuclear with mostly coal and other fossil fuels. If the trend of solar power and other renewable sources of energy continues, the percentage of power produced that way will, of course, go up.
