Abstract: Blakers et al. claim that pumped hydro storage will enable a 100% renewable electricity supply for Australia. However aspects of their case are questionable and require clarification or confirmation. This study seeks to discuss these, not with the aim of settling questions but of pointing to issues that would require verification before the viability of the proposal could be regarded with confidence.
