omg have you guys heard about this new hearing with the NYC Fire Dept?! they're getting slammed for not doing enough to keep us safe with all these lithium-ion battery sites popping up everywhere! 233 fires so far this year already? that's crazy! and it's not just about fires, it's about the potential health risks too... people are right to be worried. I think the city needs to step up their game when it comes to regulating these facilities. more transparency and oversight is key let's hope they take this hearing seriously and make some changes ASAP!
I'm low-key worried about this lithium-ion battery safety thingy . I mean, have you seen those fires they had in NorCal? It's like, yeah, we need to get our act together on this ASAP! Councilmember Ariola is right to press the FDNY on permitting processes - it's all about accountability and making sure these facilities are properly vetted before they're built. And I gotta say, 233 fires already this year is pretty alarming . We need more transparency and community input in place to prevent these kinds of incidents from happening again. It's like, we can't just rush into implementing BESS sites without thinking about the long-term consequences . I'm all for clean energy, but not at the cost of our safety!
so they're having a hearing about lithium-ion battery safety because one major fire in Cali prompted 1000+ people to evacuate lol like what's next? the FDNY is already on top of it, but I guess some council folks wanna double-check at least it's good that residents are speaking up and demanding more transparency...it's about time we get some answers about these battery sites
