These new battery safety standards require collaboration on emergency response, offer local communities state expertise, limit batteries to outdoor facilities and noncombustible buildings, and complement additional safety measures already taken by the state fire marshal and CPUC. #MossLandingFire🔋🔥

California has enacted new fire safety standards for grid batteries. This comes after the most destructive battery fire in U.S. history damaged about 55 percent of 100,000 lithium-ion battery modules at the Vistra facility in Moss Landing in January 2025.

That makes this lawsuit, Monterey County urgency ordinance/temporary moratorium, new CPUC safety regulations, proposed legislation w/setbacks, site restrictions, and to remove batteries from CEC Opt-In process that bypassed local control, and Orange County and Morro Bay urgency/temporary moratoria.

I know right where this is. The old Moss Landing Power Plant seems to have become a large energy storage area full of Lithium batteries that are now on fire! 😳😷

Along with vast fields of vegetables (as noted here ⬇️) there are waves, surfers, farm workers, animals and many other sentient beings. 😢
