- Soaring over the clear waters of Loch Awe in Scotland is a mountain, Ben Cruahan, that masks a marvel of engineering: a hydroelectric plant carved deep within that points to the future of renewable energy, capable of powering 800,000 homes in seconds. Correspondent Roxana Saberi reports.

Thank You for the Cool reporting. Thank You Scotland!!
Last month renewables generated 80% of energy in Scotland, this includes Hydro-electric, nuclear and wind turbines. Scotland has about 65 Conventional hydro-electric and 2 pumped hydro-electric stations.
There really aren't many natural sites for pumped hydro energy storage, but they could still be used in the mix along with batteries, gravity, etc to provide energy storage for renewable energy sources. We are going to need every available option if we are going to save the climate. Twin lakes in Colorado is one such site.
Argyle is not a town, it's a county.
What happen to all the Storm Troopers and Imperial Officers? Everyone get laid off after the heist of all those Imperial payroll credits?
They were transferred to the Death Star. Not sure what happened afterwards... ;-)
I loveeee scotland
Weird that you flew all the way to Scotland to look at a 400 MW pumped storage when you could have driven 150 miles to visit the 1,100 MW Blenheim-Gilboa Power Project.
They filmed a couple of episodes of Star Wars ‘Andor’ here 😎
I really truly should be in Scotland. I'm Irish and Scottish. But I live in America. 🤔
Why did they go to Scotland? There as plenty of pumped hydro storage facilities in the USA
While the efficiency charging and discharging of modern lithium batteries is around 95%, for both pumping the water up, then converting it back to electricity is about 80%, still better than burning fossil fuel. BTW as it is Scotland, is peat considered a "fossil fuel"?
Yes. Peat is considered as fossil. Peated Whiskies may eventually cease to exist.
@@Johnstone72 : thanks.
If you read this I hope you are having a wonderful weekend 💙
Argyle is a town now? Come on CBS........
Argyll isn't a town 😂
I thought they were at Racoon lake in Tennessee?
Argyle Isn’t that a Scottish pattern, Tweed?
Argyll Tartan
@@Whothem thank you, sir
OMG! Planet saving news! Let's give it a catchy name, like Pumped Storage! BTW, that's sarcasm. Pumped storage has been around since 1907. The problem with building new is trying to license a dam.
Imagine engineer as politic without politician.
Americans don't want to create fish ladders on both sides of dams to deal with various pressures and temperatures because they love the little fishies and want to kiss pillows.
This is great but the only down fall is it does create a problem for the animals and ecosystem as much as it gives it takes in nature
