The Sierra Club is definitely pro wind and solar.

Hydro - well there is still controversy over the Hetch Hetchy dam, and for good reason if you've ever seen Hetch Hetchy. The controversy goes back over 100 years.

The Chinese are perfectly willing to poison a certain percentage of their population for the greater good of their economy no doubt. I will leave it to others to decide whether their conscience will tolerate that.
