BESS Fire Moss Landing

One of the largest BESS facilities is on fire again. If it's Tesla's, this would be the 2nd time and if it's Vistra it's the 3rd time. However, this time the fire appears to be catastrophic. I was going to post this in the climate change forum but, considering the amount of taxpayer money burning, I figured I should escalate this to a disaster.

Notice that the article only mentions the Tesla pack and not the Vistra pack that is most likely the one that is actually burning. Of course they use ambiguous language like "possible" so they can't be called out for misinformation when we learn that it was not the Tesla battery.

Wonder what the Goobernor will waive now?

It appears California is using gas fired generators, and Not Solar or Wind, to charge the Mega Lithum Ion Batteries, which are currently creating a MEGA Environmental hazard and disaster.

Also County Official says Vistra Building not Tesla.
