Northwest debate: Is hydropower 'clean'?

In William Yardley's article "Northwest debate: Is hydropower "clean?" in the New York Times, he writes about a new debate about the Columbia River over hydroelectric dams. According to Yardley, the fishing community in the Columbia want the damns removed because they harm fishing grounds. On the other hand, however, Pacificorp, the company that built hyroelectric dams, argue that even though they pollute the river, the dams are a clean source of energy that does not pollute the air and lead to climate change.
