An atlas of 530,000 potential sites challenges that, even though the authors acknowledge some won’t stand up on closer inspection. The principle of pumped hydropower is elegantly simple. When electricity is plentiful, water is pumped from a low-lying reservoir to one several hundred meters higher. When demand exceeds supply, the same water is allowed to run back down, spinning turbines like the traditional hydro-power stations that supply a sixth of the world’s …
