Solution
Two ways in which hydroelectric power is better than nuclear power are:
- Safety and Environmental Impact: Hydroelectric power is far safer and does not generate harmful radioactive waste, whereas nuclear power poses radiation dangers and long-term waste disposal concerns.
- Renewability: Hydroelectric power is generated from water, a renewable resource, making it more sustainable than nuclear power, which uses limited amounts of uranium.
