After a fire at a Monterey County battery storage facility, scientists say high levels of heavy metals were found at a nearby estuary, a home to endangered species.

Elevated concentrations of heavy metals have been detected at the Elkhorn Slough Reserve by scientists following a recent fire at Vistra Moss Landing Power Plant and Energy Storage Facility.

Dozens of people were evacuated Thursday when a lithium-ion battery sparked a fire at a Wallkill apartment, officials say. Firefighters say 75 people were evacuated for several hours and that everyone got out safely.

In the wake of the recent fire at Vistra Corporation's Moss Landing Power Plant and Energy Storage Facility, the California Public Utilities Commission has proposed new standards for battery energy storage facilities.

This recent fire highlights not only the immediate environmental effects but also the long-term implications for the role of lithium-ion technology in renewable energy.

When a massive fire erupted at one of the world's largest lithium-ion battery storage facilities in Monterey County, it didn't just send a toxic plume of smoke over nearby communities — it cast a shadow of doubt over the future of California's clean energy industry.

Experts have said that these types of fires will become more prevalent as the demand of electric vehicles and machinery continues to increase.

Scientists have linked a lithium battery plant fire in California earlier this month to a surge in heavy metals found in nearby soil.

The massive fire at one of the world's largest lithium battery storage plants in Northern California has shaken a local community worried about possible long-term impacts and brought scrutiny to the emerging industry's safety practices.
