Why hasn't anyone answered this question yet?... does anyone know or what?...

Well maybe because the answer is rather obvious if you actually read your textbook and don't simply Google answers on the internet. But let's toss you a bone anyway.

The cuboidal cells of the kidneys are constantly being taxed to usher solutes and fluids through the lumen. Thus they require more energy and protein to maintain their efficacy.

Exactly mitochondria is the power house of any cell ,so thus produce energy for the over taxed cuboidial calls .

The cells lining the proximal convoluted tubule of the nephron have many mitochondria because they need a lot of energy to actively transport substances like ions and molecules. Mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell and produce ATP, the energy currency of the cell, which is used for various cellular processes.

Why do same cells contain many mitochondria?

Skeletal muscle cells, for instance, contain many mitochondria because the energy consumed in the contraction of the sarcomere is enormous. Skin cells, for instance, contain much less mitochondria as the cellular work the need to do is minimal compared to skeletal muscle cells.
