I think the term would be "a metric ****load".

I did work out that if Loch Ness could be raised 500 feet, and filled
with water, it would supply Britain for the whole winter, and you could
use solar panels to recharge it in summer.

Of course 10 nuclear power stations would be a lot cheaper. And far less
dangerous.
