A few things... 1. It appears the noise/vibrations he's complaining about are CONSTRUCTION related that would be occurring with any improvement to the land; if he didn't want to endure construction adjacent to him, he should have purchased that land so as to control it. 2. On the other hand, it appears there is very little regulation on these battery farms in TX and it seems maybe there should be some(?) 3. This is pretty shoddy reporting; specifically around the concern about fire risk of Li-ion batteries. Is it certain they are using Li-ion packs or is that just an unverified assumption? Most stationary energy storage has moved on to LFP chemistries as they are cheaper, have a higher cycle life, can utilize the full charge range without negative long-term consequences, AND (wait for it) does not have the thermal runaway issues of Li-ion chemistries. I'm not saying they are using LFP and that this isn't an issue, but it would be nice if the coverage actually stated they were using Li-ion instead of just stating the homeowners concern about Li-ion batteries.
Nimby. Not in my back yard.. happens all the time. This stuff has to go somewhere. Its unfortunate. Could be worse, could have been a nuclear power plant
@@magaareinbredhillbilliesBill of Rights. If the community believes it's an eye sore, then it can be protested against. Because they planned all of these, w/o city and/or state oversight is a no no.
Construction noise is only there during construction. Can't own a view, unless you own the property. Plant a tree line right on your property edge. We need the batteries now.
It's a couple of boxes you'll forget all about it once it's fully built. Other than that, buy forty acres, put your house in the center, and have no neighbors.😅 Oh, and be glad it's not a refinery.😂
Those drywall cracks happen even without construction near by. Could just be expansive soil like high clay content in the soil. Texas house foundations are not very deep. I get cracks like that all the time because of the changing moisture content in the clay soil. Also, buying a house with empty land isn't great since you don't know what will pop up there unless you end up buying that land.
I’m not sure about this location, Most battery storage locations are made up of LFP batteries, which are very safe compared to lithium ion batteries and nowadays lithium ion has became a lot safer than they were in the past. As far as the battery storage facility, they are being used to replace peaker plants, which are very expensive to build an operate and would be a lot more destructive to the environment
@@safeandeffectivelol This is in Texas. RED Texas. In fact, Texas produces more wind power than any other state, and most countries. Nothing Green in Red Texas.
Is there an adequate water source on site or nearby if and when one catches fire? How will the toxic water runoff from fire fighting be contained to prevent ground water contamination?
Battery backup systems are not new. AT&T's and others landline providers have used battery backup for over a century to ensure continued service during power outages. Of course there aren't as many as there once was. Railroads also used large battery backup systems for the same reason to maintain signal controls. Currently, cell towers and radio/TV/cable/satillite repeater stations all use battery backup. Most of the older systems used lead-acid batteries, but more modern battery tech is now replacing those. Battery backup systems are becoming more public with more renewable energy coming online.
Why the heck does government allow those single-tone back-up beepers anywhere? So many better ways to keep construction workers safe. This is so wrong.
This is just the beginning of the ridiculousness of large scale battery storage. The next shoe to drop is longevity. Unlike nearly every other component of the grid , these batteries will have to be replaced in ten years or less.
yep. wait until they start catching on fire... wait until an actual power outage and they get to supply some power... and fail. at that point, yay... having disposed of the original system and the concept of "redundancy"... everythings bigger in texas... the battery fires, the blackouts, the idiots in charge... "ha ha, CALI has nothing on us!"
Wait until the small nuclear plants start popping up all around the US. They will look like storage buildings. Wind, Solar, and Battery Storage are just a start.
Why is more nuclear generation put in place ? The environmental damage caused in sourcing these batteries is far greater than most people are aware of.
that last statement - we've reached out to the incoming politician, .. he's got to study it - more like he's got to see how much their lobbyists can offer his campaign so he can continue to sit on the issue.
See if it has air rights in the erea. Yes, air rights are real in certain states.that means they can't build over a certain hight.. that will force them to sell, buy or relocate.

You're willingly missing the point. These store power from the evening and during the day when there's an abundance and help cover the times of day that the base load power plants don't cover when we need peak energy. They don't need to be on all day only for a few hours.
Sue Planning and Zoning.. My biggest fear is to have property thinking its a peaceful place just to find out something like this can be built right next door.
Inflation reduction act doesn’t sound like it does the one thing it set out do. Reduce the money supply. After inflation is the expansion of the money supply.
Yes but when they speak about it they call it an infrastructure bill. It has to pass through the house and send it it's full of all sorts of convoluted things to make people happy
Oh.... He fell in love with a view he didn't own. Can't especially advise doing that.

Li-on is obsolete, i agree that LFP is probably what they are using in stationary plants.

should have bought the land when it was for sale if you wanted to control it.

The NOISE isn’t because it is a BESS, the NOISE he is complaining about is that it is a CONSTRUCTION SITE!

It's Texas, a corporation could have built a chemical plant next door.

I guess they used SILENCERS to build his house.
Does he use SCISSORS to cut his lawn?
What a whiner.
Why don’t I feel bad, I mean I’m trying. I really am…
They should put a migrant shelter there instead
What a crybaby.
BoooooHoooo They could have built a picker station You're lucky it's batteries
I doubt those cracks came from that construction site.
The utility should buy his house. An offer free power to the people next to them.

This stuff is critical to heaving an electrical grid, if you stop using electricity we will not need this, so give me your computers, phones.

Ask the battery energy company to purchase his house.
They devalued his home value.
No, no, no, no, no, this sucker's electrical, but I need a nuclear reaction to generate the 1.21 gigawatts of electricity I need!

And they need to be soon replaced as they need to keep being replaced periodically.
Without question.

Main complaint construction nuisance
that last statement - we've reached out to the incoming politician, .. he's got to study it - more like he's got to see how much their lobbyists can offer his campaign so he can continue to sit on the issue.
Battery Energy storage should be distributed, but then the billionaires could not stuff their pockets.
See if it has air rights in the erea. Yes, air rights are real in certain states.that means they can't build over a certain hight.. that will force them to sell, buy or relocate.
Zoning and building codes may have an effect on placement in a community with homes.
He and his neighbors probably didn't pay attention when it was permitted by the City of Mason.
What a cry baby
Why is private equity so heavily invovled in these renewables scams?
Because they get Government Subsidies
Perhaps he should stop using electricity. Men Don't play with flowers, he needs to grow a Pair.

Ya it’s storing “sustainable” energy from petroleum power plants .
mmmm, a whole ten seconds capacity....
but capable of burning and belching out toxic smoke for at least a week!

But but but we what our green energy.. kick me in the &alls.
This is what poor planning looks like. Typical Texas Gov't.
I guess it's beyond my pay grade, but wouldn't it be best to build these things in industrial parks?
Must be a Californian
That’s what he sounds like. A lot of lisp in his voice,his wife may have other reasons for relocating.

Snowflakes
The Battery Companies and the City Executives won’t respond to News Defenders?? “I” BET if it was a matter of “Imminent Domain” they would respond!
“I” AM SICK OF UNETHICAL BUSINESS, all for the glory of the almighty dollar and “economics”.
So…… if the want investment for business their should be, what do they call it…… “ZONING LAWS!! D U H.
As for the “negative” comments, YOU CAN BET, they are from the ones making money off the “enterprise”.
Inflation reduction act doesn’t sound like it does the one thing it set out do.
Reduce the money supply.
After inflation is the expansion of the money supply.
