Trump EPA Issues New Guidance For ‘Clean’ Battery Storage, Exposing Risks Activists Ignore
New Yorkers and experts warn lithium-ion batteries can catch fire, contaminate water, and defy green-energy claims.

The Trump administration on Monday released the first federal safety guidance for battery energy storage systems (BESS), citing safety concerns as several of the green energy facilities have caught fire in recent years. [emphasis, links added]


Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Lee Zeldin addressed BESS concerns as he announced the first federal safety guidance for the technology from Long Island, New York, where residents and officials have been protesting over an impending BESS facility.

While the Trump administration hasn’t pushed for a build-out of BESS like former President Joe Biden, several blue states — including New York — as well as green energy advocates, have touted the technology as a key tool to eventually phase out fossil fuels and accelerate the green energy transition.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

I can't help but notice the democrat environmental whackos are staying surprisingly quiet about all these changes being made by the Trump administration.  I wonder if they're letting the sleeping dog lie out of fear of too much notice being drawn on all the shady things Biden did? :pondering:
