🚨 Sign Our Petition for Safer Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS)! 🚨

Battery Energy Storage Systems are critical for renewable energy, but they come with serious risks that need urgent regulatory reform. Uncontrolled thermal runaway can cause self-sustaining fires lasting days, releasing hydrogen fluoride—a toxic gas linked to lung damage, severe burns, and even death. Add to that the explosion risks, and it’s clear we need stronger protections NOW. 😷💥

Our petition demands: ✅ Minimum safe distances from homes, schools, and hospitals ✅ Mandatory, strict fire safety laws to prevent and contain incidents ✅ Community consultation to ensure YOUR voice is heard

Recent incidents, like the 2019 Arizona BESS explosion that injured firefighters, and fires in California releasing toxic fumes, show the danger is real. Over 50 major BESS fire incidents were reported globally from 2018-2023. We can’t wait for another disaster.

Sign the petition TODAY to protect our communities! ✍️ Let’s demand regulations that prioritize safety over shortcuts.
