That’s the problem with it. It ain’t got any gas in it!

article conveniently leaves out the fact that this is “storage” facility that attempts to “store” “green” electricity ...

This fire is an excellent example that the laws of physics are harsh and unforgiving. Green lunatics don’t comprehend nature’s realities. If they remain in power everyone suffers.

Tesla is constantly inventing new innovative stuff all the time (just like its cousin, SpaceX). So I'm super-shocked that everything Tesla/SpaceX invents doesn't always perfectly work 100% of the time. In contrast, nothing has ever gone wrong with any gas-powered car in the auto industry's entire history - pure perfection.

Physics, chemistry, design, and engineering are so easy.

For future reference

Lithium battery packs and bullets don’t play well together.

Just to be clear. Is this a battery in one of their vehicles or a stand alone battery for storing electrical energy?

Like the brand of flashlight and toy batteries, these fires keep going and going and going.

The “News” links are utterly useless.
All they care about is the effect on Hwy. 1 traffic.
No detail on the fire itself or when/how it will be put out.
I did find this, “The system includes 256 Tesla Megapack battery units on 33 concrete slabs”.
I could not determine how these are packaged, is it possible to quickly remove and isolate the burning unit, or is the fire going to spread to adjoining units?

One station is warning folk to close their windows and turn off their air circulation, how Green is that!

this will be an interesting test

how long will this fire burn?

how will they put it out?

did they prepare for a fire?

i think i read that the only way to put it out is to drown it

dont see how they can do that in this situation

Hydroelectric energy storage. Uses “green” or off-peak energy to pump water into a tank or reservoir. When needed, the water is released through hydroelectric turbines to generate electricity. Benefit: water very rarely explodes or catches fire.

How sweet. The emergency management people are callingg it a “power plant fire” and an energy storage facility incident.

Talk about manipulation of the truth and the pubic.
