Are there any combination solar, hydro, fracking/oil plants? I'm joking but not entirely. Not sure how much water would fit in an oil field but it seems like a natural reservoir one could use.

The trick would probably be getting your energy back after you've pumped the old oilfield full of water. Most oil fields aren't gushers, especially after they've had most of the oil sucked out of them.
