Hydroelectric is in my opinion where it's practical the best way to handle electricity generation and storage. We know it works because it works all around the world an in some places has for 100 years. It isn't always practical, but often it is, even on a smaller level like for farmers as you said.

One big problem is I think there's more money in failure than success. If you build a hydroelectric dam and your entire region has cheap electricity for generations and is no longer reliant on fossil fuels for home heating and cooling, How are you supposed to skim billions of dollars off the top if that?
