This post was put together by Roger Caiazza to describe a recently completed white paper by Richard Ellenbogen M.E.E. titled The Intrinsic Danger of Siting Utility Scale Lithium Based Energy Storage Systems In Densely Populated Areas. Ellenbogen and I collaborated on an article about the potential impacts of a fire like the Moss Battery Plant fire if it were to occur in New York City. This report finds that the local conditions at the proposed large Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) facility at 220 Rabro Drive, Hauppauge, NY would magnify the impacts of a BESS fire in Nassau and Suffolk counties. The following two sections are lightly edited direct quotes from the report.

Here's a YT video of a lithium batteries being crushed by a hydraulic press: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t1j9TUV5coc
And I love high energy density devices. I think they're great. Just be aware of what's going on.
Agreed. And I’m happy with my home battery stack — for decentralized solar. Grid battery storage is madness. As the article states, the only “need” for it is because the greenies have blocked reliable gas fueled power and nuclear power.
They built one of these down the road from my house
It’s next to a transformer station dozens of huge batteries
There’s another one about 4 miles away near another transformer station
In order to get enough lithium batteries for commercial scale backup, you reach the point where at least one of those batteries will catch fire.
It’s the numbers.
They’re trying to put one of these in Pembroke, MA.
The resdents are not pleased.
100%, how many people have died from nuclear power accidents outside of Chernobyl?
Borrow and Natasha!
