The questions are, how much energy will they waste constructing the materials for the tower, and how toxic will those materials be when they are removed and replaced?

Water, sand, cement....there's enough sand in the desert to produce concrete.;) Nothing toxic in it and the materials(concrete, steel, glas) can be recycled.

It sounds plausible. The materials should mainly be low-tech. Much greater chance of working profitably than solar cells, for example. And it will never "silt up" like a dam. I kinda like it.
