Hydro is indeed clean in that it does not emit greenhouse gases. Sure, it disrupts life around the dammed waterway. But that's way less of an impact than climate change.

- Manuel_D 3y agoThis is a one-time overhead emission, and I doubt it's "huge" compared to even a small amount of fossil fuel use.
