Wisconsin Energy (Wisconsin Electric) brags about its battery storage facilities in Sheboygan and Milwaukee's industrial valley.
... Days after one of the world’s largest lithium ion battery storage facilities burst into flames in Monterey County, researchers found alarmingly high concentrations of heavy metals at a nearby estuary that is home to several endangered species.
The concentration of nickel, manganese and cobalt measured on the surface of the soil is hundreds to thousands of times as much as the levels in the surface soil prior to the fire or compared with levels measured deeper in the soil.

Milwaukee and State taxpayers have already spent millions cleaning up the Industrial Valley. So why not spend several millions more when that bunch of batteries spontaneously combusts?
We can call it "Death by Green."
