Bicycling Monterey 💚🌎🌍🌏"The Vistra fire in Moss Landing caught everyone by surprise. What we can learn from it?” —David Schmalz, <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/MontereyCountyWeekly" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MontereyCountyWeekly</a> cover story "On Feb. 13, 2022, a similar incident occurred at Vistra’s Moss 100 facility, and this time, both <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Vistra" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Vistra</a> facilities were taken offline."Meanwhile, PG&E’s 182.5-megawatt Elkhorn facility came online in April 2022. Unlike both Vistra facilities, the Elkhorn’s batteries were not in buildings – they were in an array of 256 Tesla Megapacks on 33 concrete slabs.In the early morning of Sept. 20 of that year, just over five months later, a fire broke out in one of <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Tesla" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Tesla</a> Megapacks at the facility, prompting the closure of Highway 1 and a shelter-in-place order for nearby residents. Though the fire only burned for six hours, the orders remained in effect until just before 7pm due to the risk of toxic smoke inhalation.”<a href="https://www.montereycountynow.com/news/cover/the-vistra-fire-in-moss-landing-caught-everyone-by-surprise-what-we-can-learn-from/article_7c3112af-73d0-4ca5-a599-05e77d09963b.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.montereycountynow.com/news/cover/the-vistra-fire-in-moss-landing-caught-everyone-by-surprise-what-we-can-learn-from/article_7c3112af-73d0-4ca5-a599-05e77d09963b.html</a><a href="https://sfba.social/tags/MontereyCounty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MontereyCounty</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/MossLanding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MossLanding</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/BatteryFire" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BatteryFire</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/MontereyCountyNow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MontereyCountyNow</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/PGE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PGE</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/PacificGasAndElectric" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PacificGasAndElectric</a>

Bicycling Monterey 💚🌎🌍🌏"Technologies that help us address climate change still have the potential to cause harm, and taking that seriously is crucial." <a href="https://www.technologyreview.com/2025/02/13/1111843/battery-fire-moss-landing-power-plant/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.technologyreview.com/2025/02/13/1111843/battery-fire-moss-landing-power-plant/</a>“The EPA tested for one of the pollutants that measures air quality index – particulate size. This is what the Monterey Bay Air Resource District (MBARD) does when it produces an evaluation of air quality. Neither agency tests for heavy metals.

Adrianna TanMy life in Monterey is very different from in San Francisco. I was invited to a Spawniversary party. In SF, this might be a cult or kink thing, but in Monterey / Moss Landing, this is a literal birthday party for sunflower sea stars, who were spawned on Valentine’s Day last year. <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Marine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Marine</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Monterey" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Monterey</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/MossLanding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MossLanding</a>

James PhelpsI went into the vault for a picture to share today. This location is in the Elkhorn Slough near Moss Landing. Amelia is in their happy place for a moment.

Bicycling Monterey 💚🌎🌍🌏We encourage a thorough read of newsletter released this eve by District 2 Monterey County Supervisor Glenn Church on the Moss Landing battery fire. <a href="https://us21.campaign-archive.com/?u=b91306d327dee38ad97c7fa73&id=937ea505d1" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://us21.campaign-archive.com/?u=b91306d327dee38ad97c7fa73&id=937ea505d1</a>"When I took office two years ago, I accepted several tours of the <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Vistra" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Vistra</a> facility, including a tour inside the building that burned. The facility and its safety systems appeared impressive. I was personally given the guarantee that a fire similar to the one that occurred in 2022 at the neighboring PG&E / <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Tesla" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Tesla</a> operation could not happen at Vistra. We know that is not true. This disaster is worse. … "There has been some great <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/news" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#news</a> reporting on this story, but there have also been some errors.

This will probably end up as a case study in my classes in the future.
