TL;DW: Incorporating pumped hydro storage into skyscrapers is a possibility. Not necessarily practical, but possible.

    It’s just slightly better than solar roadways.

    Have you heard of maintenance costs? In skyscrapers? What a wonderful event when it degrades and leaks for millions of dollars of repairs lol.

    Also it would make the building more expensive and take up space, like they are not expensive enough? Why on earth would you put that stuff in a building for starters? Dig a dam or something cheap and sturdy lol. It just sounds like a tech-bro crack head marketing fever dream.

    Edit: the truth makes you salty lol
