clean power
Sustainable electricity generation
Clean power is electricity generated without releasing pollutants or greenhouse gases—solar, wind, hydroelectric, and nuclear energy as opposed to coal, oil, and natural gas.
The term emphasizes environmental benefit: The state committed to 100% clean power by 2035.
Sometimes used interchangeably with renewable energy, though nuclear qualifies as clean but not renewable.
