I know that people hate it, but hydro is the greenest source of power if constructed in ecologically mindful ways. Solar and wind are less consistent and require highly destructive methods of material extraction and development.
Hydro is very localized to places where you can generate high water pressure. Countries like the US and China have mostly built up hydro dams wherever they are feasible.
Solar and wind have significant potential simply because they're far more ubiquitous.

Beavers do it.
Except California is having such bad droughts this year they’re going to be forced to turn off the damns.
RIP Hoover dam
