> Pumped storage is by far the largest-capacity form of grid energy storage available, and, as of 2020, accounted for around 95% of all active storage installations worldwide, with a total installed throughput capacity of over 181 GW and as of 2020 a total installed storage capacity of over 1.6 TWh.
You are kind of making my point for me. 181GW capacity is laughable at a global level. Better than nothing, for sure, but it isn't going to solve our energy needs - you need to increase that by a couple orders of magnitude.
