It is good because it takes power from natural process occurring in the present or the recent past.
The energy comes from running water from a high lake or reservoir down a large vertical drop and making it drive a turbine. That then drives a generator. So electric power is produced without burning fuel, so no CO2 is generated.
The energy comes from the kinetic energy of falling water, which comes from the potential energy of the water due to its height. The water is carried up there by being evaporated from the oceans by the sun's rays, then falling as rain on the mountains.
