The real problem here is that France has achieved this by steadfastly defending its nuclear for generations. Remember how Chernobyl's radioactive clouds stopped and turned around at the French border? Keeping the momentum is not that hard for the French government now. Germany has been anti-nuclear for that time. No wonder when at least a section of the society believed that the US is planning to plant a nuclear minefield in their country. That's how you end up with Greens that would prefer coal over nuclear. Which is the environment that prevents us from getting nuclear where we need it. In short term solar is way more promising on all accounts. Nuclear requires the project to survive a couple election cycles. Good luck with that.
