They are not better, they are different. All power sources have their pluses and negatives, considering that the waste for all of the energy you use in a life time would fit in a coke can if it were all nuclear, I consider that cleaner than most other sources.

Hydro is great, but it causes problems with fish, downstream species, and it’s also variable in places.
Wind’s great, but what do you do on a hot dead air day when everyone wants to run their AC?
Solar’s great, but what do you do about overnight during a cold cloudy winter?

Every source has its niche, and Hydro/Nuclear are the best trade off combination of baseload power you can find.
