Comment on Court rules Europe can call nuclear and natural gas sustainable investments for its green transition

But i would certainly class Hydro as green.

Sure, I get that. Dams often involve lots of concrete, which emits insane CO2 during production; and devastates large areas of nature (or human settlements).
Just felt it weird to state that natural gas is required for a stable renewable power grid, when hydro exists. Wherever hydro is possible, it’s almost certainly better than natural gas in most aspects.

If you have hydro you definitely use it.
But the opportunities for adding new pumped hydro are very few.
