'Extremely disturbing': High levels of heavy metals at Monterey estuary after lithium battery site fire

[NNadir]

1. Wanna take any bets on how fast this so called "renewable energy" disaster goes down the memory hole?

The effect of the thermodyamic nightmare of claiming energy storage is "green" because of the insipid belief that solar and wind are "green," will become more obvious with time.

We do have morons here who carry on of course about tritium from Fukushima of course. I doubt concerns about the toxicology of nickel will last quite as long as the tritium nonsense will, although the effects are likely to have more impact.

Next we'll have some fool carrying on about how hydrogen fuel cells are "green" despite the very dangerous fluoropolymers on which they depend and the recent recognition that their use leads to the emission of intactable PFAS.

Happily the hydrogen scam has nowhere near the popularity of batteries. If it did, the resultant disasters would garner more attention.

Energy storage in any form increases the risk of energy use on all circumstances., mostly because the laws of thermodynamics make it wasteful, but also because it raises the risk of accidents.
