In reality no source of energy can be said as pollution free.
when hydro electricity is said as a cleaner source of energy it means that it is "cleaner" that some other source of energy. example: hydro electric power is cleaner that petroleum since burning of petroleum produces harmful gases but not in case of hydroelectricity
the pollution caused by hydroelectricity is the ecological imbalance . to produce hydro electricity dams are constructed. for construction the forest nearby is cleared and therefore causes soil erosions and other related problems. it causes ecological imbalance because when water from rivers are stored in dams it causes water shortage in rivers and affect marine organisms.

∙ 13y agoHydropower :
- renewable
- it is produced when dams are built across waterways
- water flows against the blades of a turbine causingto turn--- converted to electric energy in a genorator
- does not cause pollution
- wildlife habitats can be destroyed
- ** hydro means water! **

∙ 10y agoNo. Once the hydro power plant is built, hydroelectric power is one of the cleanest forms of power generation. The process of building a plant might, depending on how it is done, cause some soil pollution.

What makes geothermal energy green?
Geothermal energy is green because it doesn't cause pollution.
Do the non renewable resources cause pollution?
Biofuel, or biomass, is sometimes the burning of vegetation to produce energy. Burning, especially incomplete burning, can release smoke and other air borne particulates as pollution. The carbon dioxide released was only recently removed from the atmosphere (when the vegetation was growing) so it is not a pollution causing global warming. (This is why biomass and biofuel is counted as clean renewable energy.)
Is geothermal energy pollution free?
Although geoothermal energy is considered to be pollution free as it uses hot water or steam from deep in the Earth. As a consequence it does not require fuels which produce emissions. However there are hot water (condensate) releases which may cause thermal pollution.
How else could geothermal energy be used?
geothermal energy can be used as an alternative to fossil fuels and coal in the future , it is a good source of energy because it does not cause pollution.
Can an electric car cause pollution?
Most of them use gasoline as well, which would cause pollution. Even if it is completely electric, that energy had to come from somewhere, Like a power plant that produces pollution to create electricity. If you run on only electric, and get your energy from a windmill or waterwheel then it wouldn't!
Why is hydro-electricity a clean source of energy?
Hydro-electricity is a clean source of energy. It is because energy is harnesses from flowing water. It does not cause pollution.
Does hydro-power cause pollution?
no
What are some renewable energy sources that save fossil fuels and don't cause pollution?
A few are solar, nuclear, biomass, hydro power
Can any source of energy be pollution free?
In hydro power or solar power the energy source is pollution free but the process of manufacturing and building the plant is not of course.
What are 3 types of energy that do not produce any air pollution?
Nuclear, hydro, wind
What makes geothermal energy green?
Geothermal energy is green because it doesn't cause pollution.
Does nuclear energy cause air pollution?
no nly thermal pollution
4 positives of hydro electricity?
hydro electricity is an efficient source of energy 1. pollution free 2. renewable 3. no worries of exhaustion of natural resources
What can you learn from solar energy?
it does not cause pollution
Does wind energy cause pollution?
no because wind energy is natural energy
Do renewable energy sources cause pollution?
Yes. For example, burning logs for energy or fires causes pollution (smoke and ash)
Introduction to noise pollution?
Pollution is the introduction of contaminants into nature that can cause a negative change. Pollution can be chemical or it can be energy.
