They have a huge EEZ, they should have plenty of potential for wind power. And have as much sun as most European countries.

Although they really should stick with nuclear, just learn from their mistakes.

They actually are the third biggest solar energy producer already and invest heavily in off-shore wind and more exotic ideas like deep-sea hydro power.
