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.

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?
