Well here's some commonsense > Snowy Hydro expansion: Malcolm Turnbullâs great big light bulb moment
Â
Â
Mr Turnbull wants to add pump hydro to the traditional hydro-electric generation of power.
Â
This would involve the pumping water from a reservoir to another at a higher altitude, and the release of that water to run turbines when the power is needed.
Â
The energy would not just be renewable, it would be reliable, compared to wind and solar power which fluctuates and will do until battery storage technology is advanced.

Looks like the PM's a pond man as well
