The result of shutting down every coal plant would not be “some brown outs”. It would be millions of people dying from cold and starvation.
Coal is not just a low percentage of power generation but it’s also highly variable by location. For example I believe West Virginia is still mostly coal so would lose most of their power, but my state has zero coal so no direct effect
