I think increased interconnects are the way to go, but don't mind adding nuclear capacity. It's worth noting though, that Norway is quite an exception in their hydro capacity, as there is so much height differences in their terrain. Increasing hydro capacity is also pretty hard these days due to enormous environmental cost and the fact that most of the viable sites are already built.

Power sharing across national borders was how I interpreted it. Common in Europe.

Yes. So there's smaller difference in wind power generation total output when you sum across larger area. The same is true for solar generation to some extent, but of course it's dark in the night across the whole Europe.
