Hydro is great at producing low carbon energy but:
- completely destroys ecosystems and communities around it
- Can create international water disputes that threaten war (look at Ethiopia, Turkey, Tibet)
- Creates a ticking time bomb much worse then nuclear if not properly maintained
That said, situationally I think Hydro is still one of our better options.
