Once up a time, Lake Onslow was called Dismal Swamp. In 1890 they dammed the Teviot River which feeds it and built a dam. In 1982 a new dam raised the water level by another 5m.
The government is continuing down the path of pumped hydro despite its estimated $16b price tag.
Is it a good idea? Are there workable alternatives? Because $16b would buy a lot of wind & solar, reducing the overall load on the grid.
