Yeah, I think massive chemical batteries for storing excess electricity to facilitate a contrived green energy market is a bad idea.

We shouldn't have either.

Per the AP, "There were fires at the Vistra plant in 2021 and 2022".

Agreed, yet, you know that, since this is a new technology in development, it is more subject to accidents. What's more is that media are more inclined to report any even small accidents about it. So, finally, information and news here are not necessarily representative of the whole reality.

Thanks anyway for this striking breaking news i didn't know about 😌
