Hydro has huge ecological problems of its own that we just skip over since it’s carbon free* (except the concrete)
Wind is actually good, do more wind.
Solar troughs are great in hot places, PV is great in milder to cold places (PV drops off in efficiency a lot over 35c, but this can actually be mitigated by putting panels on water, which also prevents evaporation of reservoirs, win-win)
But most of the worlds energy use is in transport (well, before AI) and we’re going to need nuclear to support moving from fossil fuels to electric, though only really China got the memo. Germany is busy hamstringing itself in every way possible.
Cleaner than most other forms of energy, yes.
