I'm friends with county supervisors and local city council members and mayors, and I follow this story with interest.

I"ve been to Hinkley a few times, too, and followed the story of Chromium 6 pollution there and the actions against PG&E and treatment of residents.

I'm keeping out of the Moss Landing mess until more data comes in but knew instantly what had happened to the oldest battery unit on the Moss Landing site. Never stack thousands of batteries on racks in the same building, especially a very old repurposed turbine building not intended to store racks of lithium batteries.
