@Thebratdragon It seems the #Tesla batteries were involved in the fire. And it seems that #PacificGasAndElectric also had a hand in "ensuring safety" at the facility. And they want to keep #DiabloCanyonNuclearPlant going? smh

"This is not the plant's first fire; it experienced another in September 2022, when an individual battery storage unit rose in flames.

"Operations resumed in December 2022 after the Energy Safety Response Group (ESRG), a third-party energy safety consultant, finalized a review of the situation. PG&E, in conjunction with Tesla, the battery provider, 'implemented corrective actions and conducted extensive system testing,' as PG&E announced.

"The exact cause of the current incident at the plant remains uncertain. Still, ESRG's 2022 report identified that last year's fire was sparked by 'an equipment installation issue resulting in water ingress caused the battery's cells to overheat and catch fire,' according to the press release.

"Due to the blaze, #Highway1 near the site has been shut down, as reported by KION concerning the California Highway Patrol."
