Maybe its cheaper just to flood old mines and use turbines to generate

efficient than a bleedin big battery which needs to then be converted to AC
in any case?
Flood them with what?
Water?
I would not think the water capacity of a disused mine would be enough
to make it worth while.
ditto the world's biggest battery.
