Everyone is or at least tries to portray they are. Your article could be written for almost any country in the world.
But that doesn’t mean a country can be run on solar alone.
FWIW, Baltic countries are going hard for solar, see lemmy.world/post/17098210

Who is suggesting solar alone?
PixelatedSaturn@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Many people seem to think that’s the idea. I don’t know about you, but when you frame the discussion as solar vs nuclear, that is what you are suggesting.
kaffiene@lemmy.world 4 months ago
I mean, it’s fair to compare the two techs but that’s different from suggesting that you need a single approach to generation. No one is seriously suggesting that only solar for generation is sensible

No, the article definitely could not be written for any country in the world, because it lists concrete actions, numbers for past few years, and concrete plans for next few years.
But judging from your comments here and elsewhere in the thread, you do not care about discussion, and will move goalposts whenever it suits you. You are not a nice person. So, PLONK.

Not true. You don’t seem to know much about energy policies in EU.
But well… Bye

Baltics powered by Finnish and Swedish nuclear.

Well, that’s a bald-faced lie. Maybe if we were only talking about Lithuania, which does import big chunk of its energy budget from Sweden, but Estonia and Latvia generate most of their energy on their own - and according to the linked article, plan to generate even more in near future.

Context is everyting. You said they’re going hard for solar, which is a bald faced lie!
As of 00:00 on 19/07/2024:
So >1GW imported from SE/FI out of ~4GW total in the Baltics is imported from countries with 40-50% nuclear baseload.
