the point is that over the last 20-30 years, the power generation landscape has changed dramatically in favor of renewables. the main reason we can't go faster, is just legacy infrastructure issues.
push fossil fuels down to below 25%, which is already nearly possible in some places, that aught to be pretty good.

Actually, no; you're right we have legacy infrastructure problems (transmission & distribution). But the biggest hurdle vis renewables like solar and wind (hydro is a different story because it can be ramped up/down relatively quickly to match demand) is storage.
