Yeh, it's called hydropower from dams.
But power cell types? There's only so much energy you can keep in something like that.
A better solution would be giant flywheel generators that would keep spinning if there was ever a power outage, then go full spin when the sun comes out or whatever.
Also a closed form of hydro where they pump water uphill into a pond, then let it fall back down to harvest the power.
I e always wondered why this isn't done. Likely because it makes too much sense.
It's done just requires unique land formation
I assume efficiency loss, and the space to build it.
hydro electric? What % of the US power supply is that exactly? Dumbass.
%7.3 according to this: https://www.eia.gov/energyexplained/electricity/electricity-in-the-us.php
I don't give a shit. Dams are a store of energy. Dams are batteries. Dams don't overheat.
7.3% so green! That wont power every car in Ca and NY in 2035!
