I believe they use special blankets to put the fires out.
So, now Pacific Palisades will be a Federal Superfund cleanup site. How do you ever get a mortgage on the land where the Lithium from the batteries contaminated the ground?
Probably no money for them in the budget. Who needs fire equipment?? Right karen!
Will Trump pull the rug out from under Elon’s baby? He fired a lot of new hires the first time around.
Homeowners insurance costs could rise if a property includes electric cars, solar panels, or lithium power walls, as insurance companies might be responsible for covering cleanup expenses if the homeowner files a claim.
Many people have taken lithium carbonate daily to treat depression.
Nickel is found in most stainless steel I believe. People cook in stainless steel and use stainless steel utensils.
No, it will not.
Newscum just issued an EOrder giving only the state the right to buy properties in the Palisades for next 90 days. This is the timeframe when owners of the land (no house left) have to decide on rebuilding or going somewhere else. In this time he will rezone for apts — that only the state will build and own.
bkmk
None of the other burning electric vehicles are hindering cleanup or is this article just an attack on Musk? We all know the answer.
Houses have burned in America even before Ben Franklin was born.
Pewter was common in colonial America.
Interesting. Thanks for posting. BIG ME$$.
“Return to their properties” probably won’t ever happen. People will be required to continue to pay their mortgages and property taxes even if their homes are ashes. This means a majority of the owners will lose their property which ultimately will be confiscated by the government or speculators who will obtain it from the banks and pay off the taxes. Suspect in the long run most of the property owners will have to absorb huge losses and simply move and start over. The weird envioros will get their way and much of the burned areas after the debris is cleared will return to wilderness. After 300years, few will know it ever happened.
My friend is the fire chief of our neighboring town. We are suburban / rural, so we don't have a lot of Teslas or EVs like SoCal, but they are around
I asked him: "what do you do with a burning Tesla?"
His reply: "let it burn."
me: "what if its parked in someone's garage"
Him: "we try to separate the garage from the house and save the house if possible"
Yes and no. The special blankets don't put the fire out, just cover the EV's while they keep burning. It's to prevent other things around the EV from catching fire. But if everything around the EV is already burning, there's no value added from the special EV fire blankets.
I just posted a link. Pretty interesting...blankets
The junkyard of the future is not you Daddy’s junkyard.
The Government-friendly Chevy Volt, Nissan Leaf and Ford Escape are certified to only release water, oxygen, lavender, and unicorn farts when burned, so they are all OK.
I just published a link on blankets...vs water
