California, while not a country, is basically the size of one and they have made significant progress with this strategy.

Why is this any different than the sheer size of manufacturing and natural resources to extract other forms of energy?

Oil, natural gas, coal also all take vast amounts of capital investment and resource extraction to implement.

I think that a nuclear power plant is vastly more efficient on this aspect.

And California has the most expensive electricity prices in the US.
