In the absence of hydroelectric resources: yes. Hydropower is by far the most important renewable. Hydro and nuclear power each produce about 15 percent of global electricity.
Many countries still have tremendous hydro potential. But in some countries—like Germany andUK—they face a choice between fossil fuels and nuclear energy. Germany can keep nuclear energy or become ever more dependent on Russian gas.
The lowest per capita emitters in Europe—Sweden, Switzerland, and France—all have a combination: France is predominantly nuclear, Switzerland is predominantly hydro, and Sweden is about 50-50.
