If your resources are infinite you can. But they are not so you can't.

Grids in Europe are interconnected. So you can build nuclear and and import wind/solar from the surrounding countries which would effectively be the same.

  Or you can build solar and wind, which is what Germany is doing to replace coal. Successfully. Don't really see your point.

    Solar and wind alone can’t provide 100%. Not yet anyway.. > Successfully Yet the amount of energy generated by burning coal has only increased. *https://www.destatis.de/EN/Themes/Economic-Sectors-Enterprises/Energy/Production/Tables/gross-electricity-production.html https://www.destatis.de/EN/Themes/Economic-Sectors-Enterpris...

      The data on that link says: 2019: 114.0 + 57.4 2020: 91.7 + 42.8 2021: 110.1 + 54.6 2022: 116.2 + 64.4 When the first wave of decomissions came in 2011, the number was 2011: 150 + 112 [1] Straight question, to see if you can answer it: is it going up or down? Furthermore, even in the data you are posting, it's going down every year except last. And it went up last year because France's nuclear energy failed and needed to be supported [2]. About 100%: perhaps, but the proof is in the pudding. Historically, the naysayers have been incorrect for decades. Here [3], an advertisement from the German nuclear lobby from the 90s, that makes a case for young people: don't be against nuclear, we need it, renewables can NEVER account for more than 4% of our total production. Fortunately nobody listened to them.
