If they don't call themselves Sisyphus Energy they're missing out on a great poetic opportunity.

> In Greek mythology Sisyphus was the king of Ephyra (now known as Corinth). He was punished for his self-aggrandizing craftiness and deceitfulness by being forced to roll an immense boulder up a hill only for it to roll down when it nears the top, repeating this action for eternity.

Its quite an ingenious idea. Could even hollow out a mountain to do this, avoiding the co2 cost of concrete.





I can imagine living next to one of these facilities and thinking "What the hell are they trying to build?"


or after 18000 years, after they reboot the civilization and only a few structures remain. Give a +- few years :)
