you don't have to build those caverns as they already exist and we have extracted gas and liquids from them, also the volume should be already known as we know

Isn't the complexities related to making those caverns air and water tight for long period of time for long term energy storage requirements?

  They don't need to be air/water tight for long term, just tight enough with a known leakage factor.

    But how cheap is it to determine the leakage factor? I suppose they can just pour in the equivalent water and see if it leaks?
