In response to this post The fire at one of the several #GridScaleStorage #battery #VirtualPowerPlant s is still burning in #MossLanding #California . And everyone is still evacuated. It's been about a day now. Here's some info on the fire: https://www.montereycountynow.com/blogs/news_blog/how-to-stay-safe-in-a-fire-emergency-it-all-comes-down-to-preparation/article_b9c37c5a-d52b-11ef-8863-4387b46d1b97.html There are some decent photos here: https://www.montereycountynow.com/blogs/news_blog/how-to-stay-safe-in-a-fire-emergency-it-all-comes-down-to-preparation/article_b9c37c5a-d52b-11ef-8863-4387b46d1b97.html It's looking like the facility is going to be offline for a long time. This will probably end up as a case study in my classes in the future.

I wonder how much better or worse this fire is versus living down wind from a coal power plant. Spoiler alert: the fallout from coal plants is pretty horrific.

OK I'm still not clear what's happened here
"The fire at the Vistra lithium ion battery storage facility began... "
"the lithium ion battery plant owned..."
So does this place manufacture Li-ion batteries, store batteries manufactured elsewhere, or store electrical power in finished batteries
Not sure what difference there really is between the three, but haven't seen what the facility *is* clearly called out
