Excess of green energy production. Especially in Europe. A solution?

Storage of water by pumping ocean water to higher elevation.
Three birds one stone.
1) rising oceans will be combatted by pumping water out and up to collection basins\resevoirs.
2) Add desalinated first using excess electricity generation to increase freshwater supply. The remaining Excess electricity can be stored for use when it is needed later by moving water to higher elevation or simply toward to north and south poles and then be ran through hydroelectric dams
3) raising the altitude\lattitude of the water would ultimately cool the water and reduce global warming too.
Its a win win win!

Storage had always been the problem... Pumped hydro is a good start though

@exchrist it's a good option if the local geography allows it... There are some very interesting battery types, large scale batteries that don't rely on exotic materials being played with in the background too

@Convivial yes there are many alternatives. . . Why is the modern world so stuck on toxic old world proposals? Ww2 politicains civil war era solutions. W. T. F.

@jshm2 okay my point is if America is so sure of its superior capitalist labor. Yet china and japan have labor incentives and practices that are tried and true to promote domestic workers and projects. Why is America still so focused on imported labor? If its truly about perserving domestic interests employment and investment. It seems that given domestic engagements and partnerships produce a lesser quality outcome. Maybe American labor doesnt want or have the skills to be expected to work efficiently\effectively.

@jshm2 yes a country should promote its own industries with incentives; such as reduced rates (discounts).
