You also have a substantial larger land mass...
But my point is not to use solar or wind. These are just for a few percent if even that. Point is a massive build out of nuclear and hydro. That would be viable even in the US. If I'm not mistaken you quite a lot of large and medium rivers without hydro power generation.
