      Unless I missed something big, it seems to me like the video doesn’t discredit using abandoned mine shafts and gravitational potential energy, just a particular company’s approach to this sort of energy storage, where they wanted to do it above ground and overcomplicated.

      I don’t think the article’s claims of “enough energy to power the planet” carry any weight, but it is nice to see an innovative use to “dead” infrastructure, right?
