I visited the old slate mine in Northern Wales then being built into a pumped storage unit in 1979. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dinorwig_Power_Station The huge underground tunnels and vaults were very impressive. I was invited to visit the Duke Power pumped storage unit in the 1990s but stupidly never got around to going. https://www.duke-energy.com/energy-education/how-energy-works/pumped-storage-hydro-plants

Water and gravity are a VERY powerful combination. Even pumped storage while relatively safe is still not perfectly safe.
