Pumped storage is a great idea for places where the topography will work with it. Don't forget NIMBY. About 56 years ago the utility for New York City wanted to build a pumped storage plant about 30 miles north. It was vigorously opposed and eventually defeated. Why should people who live in pretty rural areas sacrifice their quality of life to help those who live in a crime infested, filty concrete jungle? That's a bit hyperbolic, but that's what NIMBY boils down to. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Storm_King_Mountain_(New_York)#History https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Storm_King_Mountain_(New_York)...
