Good thing that never happens with coal.
Comment on In coal country this battery didn't stand a chance

A significant portion of the people of this town genuinely thought that this battery was going to catch fire, and that the town would be inundated with toxic smoke.

You are aware that this is a risk with batteries like this, right? Right?

Having a car accident is a risk we encounter daily. We implement safeguards to make the risks manageable.

It’s surely not a view they organically developed, but rather the obvious consequence of anti-renewable propaganda. Although I agree that “lobbyist” isn’t the right word as it wasn’t through advocacy of politicians (entirely at least) but the more amorphous dissemination of disinformation by bad faith actors.
