World’s largest battery storage facility for power from solar panels burns and poisons nature reserve

 A fire at the Vistra Moss Landing Power Plant and Energy Storage Facility in Northern California, one of the largest lithium-ion battery storage facilities, has harmed a nearby nature reserve. The facility was created to store energy from solar panels for consumer use. Despite the fire being linked to renewable energy sources, environmental activists who typically oppose nuclear power have not voiced similar concerns about the damage caused by this renewable energy facility.

The fire broke out on January 16, 2025, and was largely extinguished by January 21, 2025. The cause is still under investigation. Scientists from San Jose State University found high levels of toxic heavy metals such as nickel, manganese, and cobalt in the soil near the facility, far exceeding normal levels. Initially, the Environmental Protection Agency and local authorities stated that no toxins were released, but this was later contradicted by ongoing research.

Dr. Ivano Aiello from San José State noted that these toxins are likely new and linked to the fire, as they were found in the top layer of soil. Local residents have reported health issues like headaches and nausea, leading to the formation of a Facebook group with nearly 3,000 members who are sharing concerns.

The affected area is the Elkhorn Slough, an important ecosystem, and the rise in heavy metal levels poses a serious risk to wildlife and the environment. The incident has not garnered significant national attention, partly because it involved solar energy storage; critics argue that the same individuals who oppose nuclear power for environmental reasons are silent on the potential harms of battery storage.

Fauci Files Reveal Pfizer Helped Biden Rig 2020 Election

 Pfizer secretly colluded with Joe Biden's team to help him rig the 2020 election against Trump, according to new Fauci documents. In his new book, "On Call," Fauci admits that Albert Bourla, the CEO of Pfizer, called him the night after Biden was declared the winner of the election, to inform him of Pfizer's "Game-changing results" from the rigged mRNA trial. "On November 7, after the absentee ballots were counted, Joe Biden was declared the winner of the presidential election. It was the very next night that Albert Bourla, Pfizer's CEO, called me away from my neighbors' fire pit to inform me about the game-changing results from the Pfizer mRNA vaccine trial. I finally thought we had truly turned a corner in defeating this terrible disease." Today reports: In another interesting tidbit, Fauci discusses Trump's FDA Commissioner Stephen Hahn declaring that he would not go along with the Trump Administration's plan to roll out the vac...

Republicans Withdraw $1 Billion From BlackRock Due To Its ESG Policies

  Multiple U.S. states governed by Republicans are withdrawing state funds from BlackRock's management, as they disapprove of the ESG investment policies of the world's top asset manager, the Financial Times reports.

The Biden-Harris White House Has An Iranian Spy Leaking U.S. Intelligence In It

 The question is, how did classified intelligence from the United States, showing Israeli military movements that suggest broader action against Iran, get to Tehran? The answer raises uncomfortable questions for the Biden-Harris White House, which has opposed Israel every step of the way in responding to Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran. Defying Biden got Israel the entire leadership of Hezbollah and Hamas, with the ultimate threat still looming: Iran and its nuclear program. Operations against Iran are being assessed also because Iran has started firing ballistic missiles into Israel, targeting civilian centers across the country. If Israel is close to launching a broader offensive against Iran, leaking U.S. intelligence would be a way to both try and deter Israel and give more warning to Iran. In 2012, similar allegations were made against the Obama administration when U.S. intelligence leaks showed that Israel was working towards using "Azerbaijan as a base of operations in the event...
