Well, it doesn't, because they've shut all their nuclear plants down.
That's rather the point, yo.

So you need years and years to build nuclear don't you? Sounds like hopium to rely on an unpopular source of energy that has decades long contruction times. And the builder has to declare bankruptcy. Wind and solar are far faster and less risky financially to build. Yo.
Things are stalled in nuclear. Hope is, indeed, not a plan.
A plan is a plan, and PV has one. Wind has another.
Straightforward engineering optimisations, hundreds of them, all adding up, with few political considerations. (I won't say no political considerations, because there are always people who will cut off their nose to spite their face.)
Nuclear has hope and promises.
