Why does CARMA treat dams and nukes the same as solar and wind power?
CARMA focuses on one particular dimension that is important to the environment: carbon emissions from power production. For this reason, we treat hydroelectric and nuclear power the same as other forms of carbon-free energy like solar and wind. This does not mean that dams and nukes are free from serious environmental problems. CARMA does not endorse or favor any particular technology. Our goal is to simply report the best available information on sources of power sector carbon emissions.
