Maybe we can store it in large underground caverns (or maybe porous basins) and then pump it up to the surface only when we need it. We would probably want to coordinate with other people also doing pumping in their region, as not to end up with too much on the surface that we can’t use and then have nowhere to put it.

Is this the same thing as... not pumping it?

The other people pumping are coordinating... against you, not with you.
