A comment on ITER: World's largest nuclear fusion project begins assembly. Parent comment
Apparently, hydro produces a significant amount of greenhouse gases within the first 100 years or so, resulting from decaying plant matter and so on.
There was a story on HN a few years ago, IIRC it listed hydro providing 4% of the world's electricity while being responsible for 1% greenhouse gases.
I couldn't find the original story, but I didn't look too hard. Here's the first other source I found:
