Are there many sites with appropriate geology to build any substantial number of pumped storage stations?

- pydry 5y agoCant find it now but there was a study i remember seeing that suggested that there were 100x as many as needed.
- putnambr 5y agoHow about any of the reservoirs in drought-stricken North America? Water could be pumped to Lake Mead, power generated at Hoover Dam, and then enter irrigation for farmland. Same for almost the entirety of the Snake River and tributaries.
