    I had this idea of a multilevel continuous dam when I was in the college, but instead of spending energy pumping the fluid up, I made a plan to pass all of it through a black pipe with enough area to absorb heat from the sun just enough to vaporize. As it turns into steam at high pressure and temperature, we all know that hot air goes up. So it goes uphill with no energy debt at all. When the steam reaches the top of the dam, gets directed to heat exchangers to cool down and become a liquid once again to later be deposited as liquid water all the way up to generate energy as gravity pulls it down through the turbines.
    It may even work in a closed circuit. Basically it's solar energy with great and cheap storage capability without any expensive minerals like lithium or cobalt that requires a lot of energy and environmental damage to be mined, furthermore, the system will have a lifespan of centuries with minimal maintenance

    I’m an engineer in training and I’m glad to know I’m not the only one to have tried something like this, I didn’t do it to such a ridiculous degree but I had an island map where I had lots of little waterfalls made by natural springs, it was lovely and natural. So I dammed them all to make power, but I unfortunately discovered that the spring wasn’t strong enough to keep the dam filled enough, so I thought about it a bit… and installed a sewage pipe. Amazingly, it worked! It kept the dams always online but I did end up swapping it for a modded pipe that didn’t create pollution, it was too sad to see our natural beauty being ruined by poo just to keep some dams running. *EDIT:* You could also use better outflow pipes, if you use a treatment plant you’d need less purifiers to make the water drinkable.

    12:56 Sounds like US-191 from Cliffton to Springerville, in Arizona. Really treacherous mountain road with steep hills, blind turns, hairpins, switchbacks that start in other switchbacks, one of those really short tunnels at one point, and I think some of those bridge over itself things. The lanes are narrow, there is no guard rail at any point, and there is always a cliff on one side, whether that is the bottom or the top. The road is usually by the edge most of the way. It has 460 turns over 130 miles.
    No dams or reservoirs though, the Mogollon Rim has no water and would be too treacherous to harness anyway.
    Absolutely stunning view, completely recommend doing the drive, but be prepared to go 25 mph for several hours.
