The standard reply to any sort of gravity storage is "geography and land availability". I don't find that argument compelling enough to dismiss gravity storage outright, but I'll admit Oklahoma is pretty darn flat.

Chemical storage could be a big win when a mountain isn't readily available. Or the land is too expensive to use for power storage.



Decommissioned mines. Saw an article about it somewhere recently.


Really, you just need any elevation difference. I would imagine Oklahoma already builds water towers.
