Did you know that the Dept of Ecology is requesting public comment for a study that will shape how BESS projects in Washington State get evaluated? Snoqualmie is already responsible for over 35% of all comments to the state. Great work everyone!

If you haven’t submitted a comment yet, SVRE built a tool that makes it easy: pick the issue you care about most, and it drafts fact-based comments for you — ready to personalize and submit.

No research required. No blank page. Just your voice, backed by facts.

Start here: https://snovalleyenergy.org/ecology

Let’s see if we can’t hit 50% of all comments coming from Snoqualmie, leading with facts and data.

Ecology is writing the statewide safety study King County will use to review the Snoqualmie battery project. Draft your comment in a few minutes. Due October 1.

Another lithium battery storage fire, this time in La Verne in LA County. More than 500 homes evacuated and a nearby elementary school closed for days while crews keep spraying water on batteries that won't stop reheating.

Last week Moss Landing in Monterey County caught fire again, with shelter-in-place orders for nearby residents.

We support renewable energy. We don't support putting lithium battery facilities next to homes and schools. There are safer ways to store power, like pumped hydro.

Lithium gets built because it's fast and can go almost anywhere, including next to neighborhoods. Pumped hydro takes longer and needs the right location. Faster returns for developers shouldn't come at the expense of the people living next door.

In an update on Wednesday afternoon, officials in La Verne said fire crews are continuing to spray water and monitor the temperatures of two battery storage units.
