Or use it on large scale computing for protein folding simulations, or something.

And yeah, gravity batteries is the best I think we have, with water being the most common medium with pumped-storage hydroelectricity. But the scales of the things are kind of incongruent and... Autoincorrect actually got it right trying to correct that to inconvenient. Still really cool. I think we may need some innovations to cut down on scale issues though. Although it looks like the total power storage available is about one day worth of power for the US in PSH, I'm curious if the instantaneous output is sufficient for the grid and how spread out the storage locations are, as I somewhat doubt they're often in flatter regions. All in all, I'm not a power engineer, I just know a few and I should bug them sometime.
