even if it's a peaker unit. it will not cost more to pump the water back up the hill.. i work on this typ of equpment all the time all over the world.. don't know where ya got the 20% more in power to pump it back.. someone has they'er fact's mixed up.. it take's 20% of the power produced to pump the water back up the hill..
dont get me wrong. i dont think it's a good idea on bear lake. i think it's a bad idea for that lake.. but the idea is a good one and works well.. as fishermen and outdoorsmen we all should be all for hydro power. it's the cleanest form of power we have right now!
