Electric Vehicles running on wind and solar power captured and stored in lithium-ion batteries is all part of the grand ‘transition’, or so we’re told. Except when those batteries self-immolate, burn for days and spew out a deadly toxic plume that threatens anything but breaths for miles around. Not that the pyrotechnic mayhem attracts much … Continue reading EV Explosion: Lithium Battery Fires Provide New & Exciting Firefighting Opportunities

Exploding Force: Lithium Battery Bombs Just Another Part of Our ‘Inevitable Green Transition’
Giant lithium-ion batteries are touted as planet saviours, but make sure you’re on the other side of town when they explode into toxic fireballs that firefighters simply can’t extinguish. On the large-scale, it’s the kind of terrifying Tesla moment experienced by locals in Victoria when one of these lithium-ion wonders went up in flames and … Continue reading Exploding Force: Lithium Battery Bombs Just Another Part of Our ‘Inevitable Green Transition’
EV Explosion: Get Ready For Toxic & Terrifying Lithium Battery Explosions
As more battery-powered Electric Vehicles hit the road, get ready for fiery explosions to become part of daily life. Lithium-Ion batteries are said to be the Planet’s saviour, but be sure you’re well clear when they explode into toxic fireballs that firefighters can’t extinguish, and which are simply left to burn themselves out. On the … Continue reading EV Explosion: Get Ready For Toxic & Terrifying Lithium Battery Explosions
Tesla’s Incendiary Mega-Batteries: The Bigger They Come, The Longer They Burn
Giant lithium-ion batteries are said to be the saviour of intermittent wind and solar. But their pesky habit of exploding into toxic fireballs suggests that they’re not really part of the ‘inevitable transition’ team, after all. ‘Bombs’ are designed to store and quickly release copious amounts of energy, so are the mega-batteries being rolled out … Continue reading Tesla’s Incendiary Mega-Batteries: The Bigger They Come, The Longer They Burn
Tesla Terror: Lithium Battery ‘Bombs’ Exploding In Toxic Fireballs That Burn For Days
Giant batteries are said to be the Planet’s saviour, but be sure you’re well clear when they explode into toxic fireballs that firefighters can’t extinguish. On the large-scale, it’s the kind of terrifying Tesla moment experienced by locals in Victoria when one of these lithium-ion wonders went up in flames and literally burned for days, … Continue reading Tesla Terror: Lithium Battery ‘Bombs’ Exploding In Toxic Fireballs That Burn For Days
Wind & Solar Storage ‘Fires Up’: Giant Battery Burns For Days After Terrifying Explosion
Giant lithium-ion batteries have an alarming habit of exploding and, when they do, literally burning for days. Following up on our recent post concerning just such a case - where a Tesla mega-battery exploded in a toxic fireball in southwest Victoria - here’s a couple from the team at Jo Nova and Watts Up With … Continue reading Wind & Solar Storage ‘Fires Up’: Giant Battery Burns For Days After Terrifying Explosion
Bonfire Bonanza: Giant Lithium Batteries Literally Ready to Explode On Energy Scene
Boosters assert that the hopeless intermittency of wind and solar will soon be remedied by the addition of giant lithium batteries. Well, that’s the marketing pitch tossed up by renewable energy rent seekers, anyway. The volume of electricity stored by these so-called ‘giant’ batteries is risible, and their cost astronomical, such that the grid-scale storage … Continue reading Bonfire Bonanza: Giant Lithium Batteries Literally Ready to Explode On Energy Scene
Plugging In: The ‘Batteries Will Save Intermittent Wind & Solar’ Myth Goes Up In Flames
Mobile device users dread the moment when their phone or tablet signals the end of what’s stored on board, prompting furtive efforts to reconnect to the power grid. Sure, over time, battery life has improved on smart phones and iPads, but hitting the natural limit of the power that can be stored in such … Continue reading Plugging In: The ‘Batteries Will Save Intermittent Wind & Solar’ Myth Goes Up In Flames
Giant Batteries Bomb: Renewable Energy Storage Systems Literally Setting The World On Fire
Renewable energy rent-seekers have been furiously peddling the myth that mega-batteries were a free and easy solution to the hopeless intermittency of weather-dependent wind and solar. The line goes that giant banks of lithium ion cells can store ‘free and abundant’ wind and solar power, whenever the sun is up and the wind is … Continue reading Giant Batteries Bomb: Renewable Energy Storage Systems Literally Setting The World On Fire
