If I'm not mistaken, a lithium battery grid-level energy storage firefighting protocol is "evacuate people and let it burn."

Same protocol for a burning pile of tires at your favorite bumrocks exurban service station, amusingly. Yet no one loses their shit on HN about that horrifyingly dangerous technology.

I give up. This is a proxy war for something else. No one seriously is scared of batteries in the way people here keep trying to justify.

Why so sensitive? There are other battery chemistries (say, VRFB) that are less dangerous and that are less like tire fire.
