My dad who used yto work for MET ED told me how they had artificial waterfall dams. At peak demand times the water is let go through the turbines generating extra power. When the energy demand was lower the water was pumped back up. Something like this might be useful for a peak demand generator. During low demand use electricity to seprate the hydrogen from the water and when peak let it rip.

Yes, great idea, simple, easy to understand, efficient, useful, a boon to all of society. That's why the eco-nuts refused to allow them to be upscaled in NY.
