Like Potential energy equals mass times gravity times height!
So one cubic meter of water(1 tonne) at 360 meters in height with gravity at approx. 10m/s^2 (9.8m/s^s) equals 3,600,000 joules which is one unit of power - approx 28 cents. (1 kilowatt hour)
So I ask all those BRAINY greenies out there, where do we get 360 meters of height in a controlled fashion.
I suggested the Kalgoorlie super pit which will be 500 meters deep, 1500m long and 500m wide (when it comes to its life completion in 2030) as a hydro storage facility having 4 Olympic swimming pools (10 million litres) falling into the pit delivering 750 megawatt hours of energy but of course height is the issue!
Now, would you like me to start putting numbers and costs to batteries because the bottom line is engineering and who is going to pay for it!
Just something those dumb greenies seem to forget!

OK after you have tipped 750 swim pools into the pit;
what then?

All over Red Rover.
Wait 200 years until it evaporates
then do it again.

Even rural jobs planner Barnaby would not like your plan.
Neither would I if I wanted to power the toaster for breakfast.
