And flood loads of valleys to create massive hydro power stations? Norway's low density gives it plentry of cheap renewable electricity (per person). In my country we have loads of people living in valleys, so we'd probably not get away with building that much hydro generation capacity.

Although there's a whole area called the "lake district" that is literally asking for it.

We should slowly invest and push for transition, but the current status quo is for early adopters and enthusiasts IMO
