"Pumped storage hydropower is the greenest renewable energy technology for large-scale energy storage, a new study suggests.
Researchers with the National Renewable Energy Laboratory said closed-loop pumped storage hydropower will have a lower carbon footprint throughout the lifecycle of the technology, from construction to decommissioning, than other renewable energy storage technologies like lithium-ion batteries. Portland Business Journal first reported the study."...

Yawn. This only applies to large-scale fixed-installation STORAGE of power. It has nothing to do with generating power. It is only useful where the original power source is cyclic (such as solar panels) and where the positive part of the cycle far exceeds the amount of power being used.
