Just Have a Think | The insane potential of Pumped Storage Hydro @JustHaveaThink | Uploaded July 2023 | Updated October 2024, 54 minutes ago.
Pumped Storage Hydro had, until recently, been all but written off as a fully exploited dead-end for energy storage expansion. According to new research though, it turns nothing could be further from the truth! It could literally be the lynch pin to get us to 100% renewable global electricity grids without having to pillage the earth (and deep seabed) of critical minerals.
