Probably ZERO deadly by-products spewing forth. How long did it take to put out the one in socal recently? And which secretary gets this one? DOT or DOE?

The fire erupted in spite of what the company’s website calls “likely the most sophisticated automated and remote supervised and controlled fire suppression systems in the world.”

“The state-of-the-art fire prevention system is designed to detect fires before they start,” the company’s site says. “The system covers all areas where battery materials are stored or processed. It is monitored remotely 24/7 employing high-intensity industrial forward looking infrared…camera technology.”

Quite a feat, there. Can they apply that system to the election?

If it’s monitred remotely can I assume nobody is stupid enough to monitor it while sitting in the plant? ;-)

Thermal runaway. It will easily take down a whole plant and burn for days

That is exactly what I fear will happen to the EV plant north of Kokomo, IN. But no one there will listen.......

The Great Divide

Bible in a Year :

Give back to Caesar what is Caesar’s and to God what is God’s.

Mark 12:17 In a classic Peanuts comic strip, Linus’ friend berates him for his belief in the Great Pumpkin. Walking away dejectedly, Linus says, “There are three things I have learned never to discuss with people . . . religion, politics, and the Great Pumpkin!”

The Great Pumpkin existed only in Linus’ head, but the other two topics are oh-so-real—dividing nations, families, and friends. The problem occurred in Jesus’ day as well. The Pharisees were deeply religious and tried to follow the Old Testament law to the letter. The Herodians were more political, yet both groups wanted to see the Jewish people freed from Roman oppression. Jesus didn’t seem to share their goals. So they approached Him with a politically charged question: should the people pay taxes to Caesar (Mark 12:14–15)? If Jesus said yes, the people would resent Him. If He said no, the Romans could arrest Him for insurrection.

Jesus asked for a coin. “Whose image is this?” He asked (v. 16). Everyone knew it was Caesar’s. Jesus’ words resonate today: “Give back to Caesar what is Caesar’s and to God what is God’s” (v. 17). His priorities in order, Jesus avoided their trap.

Jesus came to do His Father’s will. Following His lead, we too can seek God and His kingdom above all else, directing the focus away from all the dissension and toward the one who is the Truth.

Why do God’s promises seem to be hidden at times? How can you accept them by faith today?

Loving God, thank You for the beauty of Your faithful promises.

For further study, read The Promises of God: Taking God at His Word.

Thanks for the link.

"According to its website, the company uses this facility to “recycle lithium-ion battery materials from battery manufacturers, automotive OEMs, battery dealers, recyclers, and processors worldwide,” describing it as “one of the largest lithium-ion battery processing facilities in the world.”"
