    everything else we’ve used so far (nearly all Lithium based).

    We have used water before lithium, and it isn’t bad at all.

            Not sure why you’re getting down voted, as you’re sadly correct here

            Still better then many alternatives, but it’s not as environmental friendly as it’s advertised

      Not so great in a flat dry desert though. Pump storage is great when there is lots of water and a naturally occurring elevation, but there’s lots of places on Earth that don’t have that, but do have energy to store.
