We need to explicitly mention that water has two essential roles: foremost, as an essential for all forms of life (obviously), and secondarily, that water at elevation is (and always will be) the near-perfect energy storage system to supply energy in concert with intermittent electrical generation from wind and sun. Without this second role being explicitly recognized, we risk losing a truly sustainable carbon-free energy future. Don't rely on battery technology for electrical storage; reservoir storage is vastly more efficient and achievable.
