In my opinion clean is anything that doesn't emit out of smokestacks.

Also in this case it doesn't emit out of smoke stacks while the sun's down and the wind's not blowing.

Dams are terrible for the environment so hydro is out. Nuclear is cleaner than hydro.

Um.... dams and nuclear tend to go hand in hand. They need shit tons of water in reserve for cooling. Alternatively, they can draw river water in, but any power plant that dumps hot water into the river is damaging the aquatic ecosystem.

What? Damns have nothing to do with nuclear. You're thinking of in Ukraine and that's unique situation. Also that dam was blown up and the nuclear power plant didn't explode.

Take the nuclear titties near me, not a dam in sight.
