I bet using bamboo for power generation might be more clean that coal, especially if we turn the bamboo into coke first. Granted I doubt you could "farm" bamboo like trees or other plant. Given how fast section species of bamboo can grow, which is a big benefit in this hypothetical, you would probably need a ton of water and no matter how nutrient rich the soil is you'd probably deplete the soil after a few harvests. Shame considering how fast growing and dense bamboo is.
