Actually, it is practical, it does work and it has been implemented. What Dr. K neglected to mention in his article is that this is not a method for generating energy. It is a method for storing excess energy that has been fed into an electrica until it is needed. The excess energy is used to move the water uphill into a reservoir. When there is a large demand for energy that exceeds the systems generating capacity, the water is released to go back downhill powering a hydoroelectic generator. When the system is generating excess energy again, the process begins all over again. This is particularly useful for electrical grids that get a lot of excess energy generating during the day time by solar or that generates a lot of power by windmills on particularly windy days. You would know this if you were actually knowledgeable about the energy industry like you so often claim to be.

Watch it grow! Highest yielding feedstock in the world!
Dutch Kuyper with Parker ranch is supportive of the idea of pumping water uphill. You will find the cost benefit is just not there. Giant King Grass provides jobs to farmers, can supplement animal feed and pellets can be exported to the Asia. The only authority on this topic is who proves it first. My money is on Giant King Grass!
