— Steel lining is one of the more critical cost factors. For many high head projects, the cost of steel lining is the factor that determines whether the project is economic or not. You need to...

Hi Peter, that's why the author recommends them lining the ground with plastic. The author claims the total bill to take Australia to 90% renewables (45GW) with this massive pumped seawater hydro...

The land near the Great Australian Bite is cavernous limestone. reservoirs on it would leak like a sieve. Plus, many other issues making it not viable - not even close.

Hi Peter, the papers calling for 100% renewables make the case that giant pumped hydro dams along the Great Australian Bite would backup Australia's entire grid. http://www.aph.gov.au/DocumentSto...

One question I have with this proposal is why you would not have multiple generating stations along the length of the tunnel. You don't need an 800m drop to run the power station, a couple of hun...

The proposed Snowy Hydro energy storage scheme is unlikely to get off the ground (‘Snowy fix for power crisis’, 16/3). Pumped-hydro systems are seldom viable nowadays. Gas is a cheaper altern...

Tom Barry, You are correct, that Jindabyne-Eucumbine would be cheaper capital cost, but probably not more economic. Generating capacity for the same tunnel diameter, would be ~1/3. Furthermore, t...

A smaller cheaper option exists between Eucumbene and Jindabyne. Less distance, less head, 220metres drop. Could all be built on freehold land outside the Park . The water could be pumped back up...
