Interestingly that's also about the pressure of gas in scuba tanks. Can't imagine how much energy to pressurize water to that

- trhway 1y agoDue to incompressibility of liquids, pressurizing a liquid is very cheap energy-wise - orders of magnitude cheaper than pressurizing a gas. The issue is that pressurized liquid also requires correspondingly strong and expensive vessels and pipes.
