France, Sweden, Switzerland and parts of Canada had essentially green electricity for decades. Nuclear did that for the most part.
Germany has spent a long time, a huge amount of money and political will driving into renewables and they are not even close to done.
France in comparison was far, far faster in transition to nuclear any they did it in the 70/80s with basically 60s technology.
Had Germany started building as many nuclear reactors as they can as fast as they can and build them next to coal plants, they would be as Green as France in the next couple years easy.
However they decided to go to renewables and they are literally decades away from being able to run the country 100% on renewables reliability.
Any country that has actually decided to seriously and heavily transition to nuclear was able to do it very quickly.
