The UK's depth of civic society. I'm originally from Australia (arrived March 2020) and it is noticeable how rich Britain's civic life is, and this richness extends from London to the smallest towns...
The additional, often unmentioned, complicating factor is that a lot of the solar is behind the meter, and each state is approaching the point that rooftop solar, on its own, can supply (at times) all the demand on the grid.

Thinking about this more, with the limitations on output variation of typical nuclear power plants, actually putting any more than a token amount of nuclear power onto the Australian grid would be a mess.
This seems to be an underappreciated point in the Australian nuclear power discussion. Nuclear power would require quite substantial intervention in, and restrictions on, rooftop solar.
