Australia is still highly dependent on coal. They’re not a prime example of how to decarbonize an electricity grid.

Since 2005 France has deployed as much solar and wind generation as they've removed nuclear, about 10-15%.

You probably meant late 20th Century France, when better renewable alternatives didn't exist, not current 21st century France.
