New Yorkers are lining up in opposition to dozens of new lithium-ion battery storage facilities planned across the Big Apple and beyond, over fears they could spark toxic infernos in residential neighborhoods.
Queens Councilman Robert Holden said he doesn’t want his neighborhood to turn into a potential “mini-Chernobyl”
The site, which is now vacant at 64-30 69th Place, stands next to a daycare and preschool (Books & Rattles, Inc.), the Juniper Valley Animal Hospital and also lies across the street from PS 128.
NineDot Energy spokesperson Karen Alter, when contacted by The Post, said the Brooklyn-based firm had not made a “final decision on moving forward.”
In a copy of emails with community officials obtained by The Post, NineDot rep Sam Brill defended the safety of such battery sites, including a NineDot battery facility in the Bronx, that for years has “safely operated” 40 feet from a public school.
“FDNY wouldn’t let us build these if they weren’t safe,” Brill said.

Everything that DemocRATz do is toxic.
It’s bad enough when a Tesla spontaneously ignites and the fire department is afraid to put it out. This thing will burn with the heat of a thousand Tesla batteries.
MAYBE DOGE could find out all who receives KICKBACKS.
Only the NY elite cry NIMBY and then they feel better.
Sorry, NYers, but you get what you vote for.

Cast stupid votes, win stupid prizes.
Life is risk.
They only time you can avoid all risk is when you are dead.
The demonstrators are of the stupid cult which believes risk can be eliminated.
Same gutless New Yorkers who let that filthy little puke Bloomberg push them around like little kids.
Oh, come on. We have to save the planet. If your property becomes worthless in the process, well, you took one for the team😊
Yes, they all didn’t pay attention in Chemistry class. Lithium is right up their with nickel and potassium as a group 1 alkali metal. group 1 metals combust pretty easily. the group two lighter earth metals beryllium, magnesium and calcium burn pretty good once ignited. All need special ( and pretty nasty) chemical extinguishers to smother the flame.
Whatever do you mean? it’s all “clean” energy.
If fully discharged they represent represent little danger. But why in the hell are they there
. They should be in recycling center or safely buried

They would feel much belter if it were in a suburb and fight to keep it there regardless of the people living there, because this is who they are, “not in my community”
“Odd”. NY(C) elite doesn’t want the ‘safe’ battery banks built right under their feet to ‘walk the (green) walk’ they talk about SOOooo much.
The leftist want green energy till it comes to their neighborhood. I would force it on them since they voted for it...
