No you can't. Hydro is already mostly tapped with few exceptions.

Solar requires more materials per kwh even compared to nuclear. But even if it didn't - since hydro potential isn't sufficient - gas is required for firming. This was also mentioned by axpo

axpo is not independent. They have an agenda.

Solar doesn’t require more materials per kWh. LCOE of solar is order of magnitude lower than Nuclear.

And we do have more mountains that we can build out.
