    This doesn’t make any sense. EGS is already a thing, and this doesn’t exactly sound cheaper. The benefit you get from EGS is constant output instead of going through all this trouble to recreate a battery.

    I’ll also note there’s no confirmation that this is a closed loop, meaning this could draw a lot of water in a region beset by ongoing drought.
