Moss Landing Tesla Battery Factory Affected By Plant Fire? Videos Emerge

As firefighters responded to a fire at Moss Landing Power Plant on Thursday, several social media users claimed that Elon Musk-owned Tesla battery factory was also battling flames. The plant is a battery storage facility operated by a company called Vistra Energy. Tesla Megapack batteries at the Elkhorn Battery Energy Storage System are next to the Vistra Moss Landing power plant.

"Massive fire is currently raging at #Tesla facility in Moss Landing. Smoke could be toxic, if you’re in the area, protect your lungs," another one added, along with a video of the fire.
Neither Tesla officials nor owner Elon Musk, who is pretty active on social media, have reacted to the fire claims yet.

I bet the fires in LA are worse because of EVs and battery storage...It seems 2 different battery facilities in the region (near San Francisco) are on fire at the same time. Isnt that interesting especially as both these facilities have suffered this before...at different times? How could two different facilities spontaneously combust at the same time? One answer, Electromagnetic Radiation!

There is no perfect solution for power given the chaos that is coming from a weakening magnetic field. However the best power sources im aware of are geothermal and fixed bed nuclear. Fixed Bed Nuclear is a tech they havent solved yet. Those maybe humanities best energy sources through this time. When more tectonic activity occurs, solar and maybe even wind will not be sufficient due to increased cloud cover. Fixed bed nuclear is portable and therefore better at adapting to a changing environment...geothermal is better for settlements in, hopefully, more seismic stable regions as it provides power & heating/cooling separately. If I ever have an opportunity to, i'd invest in fixed bed research as well as my investment into ceramics.

========================================

How does EMF cause lithium batteries to experience thermal runaway and thus spontaneously combust? One of two main ways:

#1 - Overcharge/Discharge

With various impressed external magnetic field intensities an effect was noticed on the charge and discharge curves as well as the charge and mass concentrations within the batteries. With the two-dimensional model starting from 0mT and going to 1mT had the effect of discharging the battery faster and charging the battery faster. With the two-dimensional model starting from 1mT and going to -1mT had the effect of charging the battery faster. In either case an effect on the various characteristics of the battery were studied. With the experiments conducted on the two types of batteries the effect was more profound than subtle. Discharge times were twice as fast and charge times were equally
affected. With the smaller batteries they all generally charged faster under the presence of a magnetic field due to more uniform penetration. In the presence of the field they also discharged faster. The larger batteries would not see the same uniform penetration because only a small area of the battery sees the center of the coil it is placed on

In this dissertation, they found that external magnetic fields significantly increased charge and discharge rates in individual lithium battery cells; like shown in the following image. They also found that smaller batteries were impacted to a greater degree than larger ones. This is likely a reason Tesla is switching to larger battery cells in addition to employing magnetic attenuating honeycomb sandwich battery pack.

#2 - Stimulation of Dendrite Growth

Thermoelectric current causes asymmetric growth pattern of dendrites.

thermoelectromagnetic convection occurs in the vicinity of the solid-liquid interface, and vortices are generated between dendritic arms. It is shown that the thermoelectromagnetic convection has a major influence on dendritic morphology.
