Battery-Power for Wisconsin Energies? Beware!!

Wisconsin Energies is babbling about its "commitment" to "green" energy.  That includes a few big-ass sun-catcher and windmill operations which MUST be backed up with large-scale batteries.  

So this is germane, and important.  Vistra is the battery-backup facility for a California utility.

 A massive California battery facility that caught fire and spewed toxic smoke in January caught on fire again Tuesday night, according to multiple reports.

Smoke was reported at the Vistra Battery Facility in Monterey County around 6:30 p.m. local time on Tuesday night, prompting local officials to urge residents to close doors and windows out of an abundance of caution for possible air quality issuesaccording to The San Francisco Chronicle. The same facility was the site of a massive blaze in January that kicked a large plume of black smoke over the surrounding area. Residents reported health problems in the immediate aftermath of the January fire....

Think you'll see mention of that in the local "news"--connected to the WE plans?  HAH!

Maybe they'll be lucky and the wind will blow the toxic fumes over to Michigan.

Or maybe it won't.
