There are a couple of these facilities being planned near me right now. They're receiving immense pushback from people concerned about lithium fires.

  This isn't a realistic concern is it? I mean, compared to the pollution and fire risks of a plant that literally burns fuel when in use?

    Yeah it's totally stupid. We already have fire risk from transformers, oil storage, and especially gas storage: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-07-12/freeport-lng-blast-created-450-feet-high-fireball-report-shows https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-07-12/freeport-...

    I checked out a Facebook group for a neighboring town's fight against this, and I don't think logical reasoning works. They're too busy praising Florida's HB 1645.
