EV's are good for the environment they said.....the largest lithium-ion battery recovering facility in the world explodes!

""225,000 square foot processing facility in Fredericktown, Missouri, USA is one of the largest lithium-ion battery processing facilities in the world.""

Apparently, this company has 3 or 4 other factories that have had massive fires and or burned down.
They're not a processor, or mfg, more of a recycler.....Not good at all.

How is this different than the great oil spills, you idiot.

That's another topic.

It's the same topic, you loon.

I wonder how many oil refineries and processing plants have exploded over the yrs,, along with oil spills,,

and dont get me started of petro chemical plants,,

You ever tried to put out a lithium battery fire dummy?...
These things are dangerous... I never leave a battery charging in my home unless I'm there to keep an eye on it... if I have to leave I unplug until I get back home...

Deflection much?

If recyclers can't handle the batteries safely, then what are we supposed to do with them?

I know, find a liberal shithole someplace and bury them there.....They wanted them so it's only fair that they bear the burden.

You ever try to clean up a massive oil leak, goofball?

Thank God I'm not downwind of that. So much for ALL of those li-ion batties! They are now LOST, gone into the air for everyone to breathe their toxic fumes.
At $10,000 a battery, that is quite a loss.
Looks like china will have to crank up their child labor and mine a LOT more lithium!

they used to and still do say the same thing about large oil fires,,

how long did it take to put out the oil well fires in kuwait after desert storm??

 

[Woodznutz]

It's the same topic, you loon.

Do you think that anyone on the scene is comparing it to an oil spill? Or, do you think anyone fighting an oil spill is comparing it to a lithium fire?

educate ourselves just like we did when oil became the energy source of choice,,

I bet when guys are trying to put out oil well fires they arent thinking about lithium fires,,

so whats your point??

Thousands of people don't breathe this in an oil spill, fucktard. Do the world a favor and get a good lungful.

I make it a policy NOT TO HAVE any lithium batteries-----even the little guys used on little household gadgets-----I HOPE!!!!!! -----should I check hubby's little rechargeable hearing aid?

Actually once the right team was in place and our Marines made the area safe for them to operate in they got them out pretty fast...

A li-ion battery fire burns at a temperature half as hot as the surface of the sun, about 2-2.5X hotter than what is needed to melt steel.
Putting water on the fire only makes it worse as water reacts with the lithium to release hydrogen gas which just intensifies the fire.

I didnt ask how fast,,

fact is oil fires can and are just as deadly as lithium fires when oil came into play,,

we learned then and we can learn now,,

I could post all day long about large oil fires and the toxic smoke they inleashed,,

dead is dead regardless of what kills you

Massive pipeline fire burning near Houston began after a vehicle struck a valve, officials say

A massive pipeline fire in La Porte, Texas, sparked grass fires and damaged a nearby park. The explosion forced evacuations and shelter orders.
