Are you sure you looked at the right country? First, Sweden runs on nuclear. Second, it has a lot of hydro because of *low* population density that lives mostly in the south and thus has plenty of free space.
Mainland European countries have high population density and limited land. This is precisely why they have been investing in energy sources that occupy little space - coal, gas and nuclear.
And this is also reason why Germany faces opposition against wind farms.
