And with hydro (ha, got one) you need a big river, to cram the dam in, and that screws up all the land behind it, as it 'floods'. And with solar, you need a good deal of sunlight.
Hydro dams suck. I was thinking more of those wave things in the sea. And I'm sure there must be somewhere better to put the wind turbines. Shove some on oil rigs at least (and hopefully those same oil rigs will become disused soon too).

Solar panels can work at night off of moonlight too, and thus spend virtually 100% of their rime charging up energy. More sunlight obviously works better, but considering one long house can get all the electrical energy it needs and more from only one half of it's roof being covered in solar panels...you figure it out.

Solar panels rule.
