Being that Greasy Gavin Newsom was the mayor of San Francisco, and that much of the state’s woke, shit policies come from San Francisco area politicians, this fire at a lithium-ion battery plant may actually get the attention it deserve.. What the caused the fire? There is no word.. There are no winds in the state anymore, so it’s probably left wing eco-terrorism arson again.

A massive fire broke out at a Californian power plant early Friday morning, threatening one of the largest battery energy storage facilities in the world.
The blaze began in a building containing lithium-ion batteries hours earlier, an official at the Monterey County Sheriff’s office told the BBC.
Locals report the massive toxic battery plant fire is next to the Elkhorn Slough Wildlife Reserve. The emissions may have a devastating effect on birds, fish, and other wildlife, including sea otters.
The Moss Landing power plant, run by Vistra Corp, was evacuated, as were people in the surrounding area. No injuries were reported.
Officials are not actively fighting the fire, the Monterey Sheriff spokesperson said, and are instead leaving the building and the batteries to burn on the advice of fire experts.
Hundreds of people have been ordered to evacuate and part of Highway 1 in Northern California has been closed.
