    This is what I have always been worried about... Modern industry seems all fine until a fire breaks out or a train overturns.

  • Some outlets originally blamed Tesla, but it apparently has nothing to do with Tesla.

  • I was on a run last night and noticed the glow. How many times has that battery plant caught fire? Seems like grid scale battery technology is not ready for the lime light. AB 2514 forced utilities to build out this dumpster fire. It's ironic that California's climate solution is burning while the state blames climate change for the LA fire.
