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

The subtext is always and everywhere about deflecting attention from their natural incapacity to deliver power as and when it’s needed. Also known as the ‘hopeless intermittency problem’. The ‘answers’ pitched up seem only limited by the rather fertile (albeit … Continue reading Headless Chickens: Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Story Flips to Totally Unhinged
Renewable Storage Claims Incinerated: Lithium Batteries Burn For Days
When self-immolating lithium-ion batteries start spewing toxic smoke, the action last for days because firefighters won't go near them. They simply let them burn themselves out, and if that takes a week, so be it. And it’s not just those in service providing deadly pyrotechnic displays (see above the giant Tesla that burned for days in … Continue reading Renewable Storage Claims Incinerated: Lithium Batteries Burn For Days

Self-immolating lithium-ion batteries spewing toxic smoke is just another part of our grand wind and solar transition. And it’s not just those in service providing deadly pyrotechnic displays (see above the giant Tesla that burned for days in Victoria). Those past their use by dates are also giving thrilling thermal displays, as they turn their … Continue reading French Lithium Battery Warehouse Explodes In Terrifying Toxic Fireball
