The best solution overall is hydroelectric power. Then, electricity
wins, hands down.

Nope. More people, by far, and more property has been destroyed by the use
of hydroelectric power than by other forms of electricity generation.

Just one dam failure (Banqaio) resulted in 85,000 deaths in 1975. It created
a wall of water 6 meters high and 12 kilometers wide moving 600,000,000
cubic meters of water.

Dams don't often fail, but when they do the result is, um, spectacular.
