There's also climate change though. Building a new gas pipeline while exiting nuclear at the same time seems an odd way to achieve zero carbon.

Why? Cheap renewables and gas is a perfectly good route to zero carbon being used around the world.

I could think of ways to further minimize gas but there's politics involved too.

It also is a big carrot for Putin (or somebody who takes his place) to rejoin the peaceful world.
