What's 108,000 tons in volume?

It's designed to go underground. I see it like water towers, every town has one to get mains water pressure and a store of water.

Wouldn't these be similar for energy? 3 days emergency backup power sounds great, plus it smoothes peaky renewables.

Edit. It's about 40x swimming pools
