In electricity production, it is just under 50 percent
Solar energy is a non-example of coal. Solar energy is generated from sunlight through solar panels, whereas coal is a fossil fuel that is mined from the earth.
When coal is burnt, it releases thermal energy in the form of heat. This heat energy is generated by the combustion process, which involves burning the coal in the presence of oxygen to produce heat and other byproducts.
It generally takes about 3 tons of coal to produce the same amount of energy as 1 ton of uranium fuel pellets. This is due to the much higher energy density of uranium compared to coal. This illustrates the efficiency and energy potential of nuclear power compared to traditional fossil fuels.
In recent years, coal-fired power plants in the UK have generated around 10-15 terawatt-hours of electricity annually. However, this amount has been decreasing as the country transitions to cleaner energy sources and reduces its reliance on coal.
Approximately 30,000 kilograms of coal would need to be burned to produce the same amount of energy as is generated by a kilogram of uranium fuel pellet. Uranium fuel has a much higher energy density than coal, making it a more efficient and cleaner source of energy.
I am pretty sure that LESS electricity is generated with biomass, meaning that its use is not as common as coal.

Australia uses fossil fuels (coal, oil, natural gas), solar energy, hydroelectric energy and wind-generated power.

Over half but not all of it
7 g of 235U is equivalent to approx. 20 t coal. For 1 kg of 235U - approx. 3 000 t coal.

Over half of the electric power generated in the U.S. is being generated by coal fired electric power plants.
