Energy grid—battery farms (Jan 29, 2025 podcast)
٢٤ مارس
I was catching up on some older podcasts today and the January 29, 2025 podcast caught my attention about “Reimagining the energy grid through battery storage.” This podcast references Cal Flats battery storage, which happens to be located in the SE corner of Monterey County (Chalome), Calif—and I live 125 miles northwest of Chalome in the NW corner of the same “Monterey County,” about 15 miles from the Moss Land battery plant operated by Vistra (located 20-25 miles from Monterey, Pebble Beach, and Carmel. The Moss Landing Vistra lithium battery site experienced a major fire that occurred at that coastal location on January 16, 2025, nearly 2 weeks BEFORE your podcast — ithe fires also reignited about a week later. These battery storage sites are fine and dandy, but what considerations and planning are in place for unexpected fires, contamination, winds, etc? The wildfires in Southern California were also happening at this time, beginning January 7, 2025, being highly impacted by winds. What will the Cal Flats battery storage location do if a wildfire takes off near/in it? The strong winds CANNOT be controlled by humans. There are 2 lakes not too far away (Nacimiento and San Antonio) but what if their water levels are so low (due to drought) to fight wildfires? Do politicians realize the “down wind” impact of their current decisions? Or just “the good for the moment? Decontamination and fire prevention is rarely mentioned when talking about these things, but it also has long term effects. Your podcast referenced the fears of the energy grid operators in Texas that occurred during the moment in 2023…..
