taum

The recently rebuilt (2010) Taum Sauk reservoir only manages a 70% efficiency according to Wikipedia.

There's a massive battery in Missouri known as the Taum Sauk hydroelectric dam.

The problem of pumped hydro is having suitable sites, I believe the US is still the only country to have built a completely artificial PHS facility with Taum Sauk.

Near where I live is the Taum Sauk pumped storage plant [1], which actually overtopped in 2005 and flooded the valley below.

Pumped hydro is great but it requires very specific topologies (you need a large lower reservoir or a high flow river below the dam to have water to pump back up), it’s even more rare than good hydro locations, and completely artificial PHS à la Taum Sauk county are nearly unique.

Here's some non-nuclear disasters that happened that people could only watch: * Taum Sauk hydro pump-storage collapse * Duke Energy's 30k+ tons of coal Ash spill into the Dan River * But that was tiny, try Kentucky's 306 million tons of coal Ash spill or Tennessee's 525 million.

Example: lium / les / seap / lim / mus / mis / sus / nus / suis / san / sois / taum / puos / sais / mip / soup / lis / neuk / soes / nal / sis / sit / piom / puot / saos / luk This is rather unnatural, even in consonant heavy languages like the Slavic languages.

Just for illustration, the "Taum Sauk Hydroelectric Power Station" can produce 175MW of continuous power.

Taum Sauk, an artificial pumped storage facility which famously failed, was rebuilt to 3600 MW·h for $490 million.

Taum Sauk is unusual in that the dam fully surrounds the upper reservoir (i.e.
