That¹s a cool solution (2 lakes).
I¹ve thought about a similar energy storage system for an off-grid system.
I¹ll never do it, but I¹ve often wondered if it were possible.
I heard years ago that we had enough natural gas in the US to provide
power to the US for 300 years. I don¹t know if that¹s actually true, but
it¹s an interesting idea.
If the US would stop with all of the politics and nonsense, we could
create an energy infrastructure that makes sense. Use all available
energy sources.
