Today we recorded an eye-opening episode with Sarah and Wendy, two passionate community voices, diving deep into the reality of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) in Solano County.While BESS is often presented as “clean energy,” our guests shed light on the serious risks:⚠️ Toxic chemicals that can leak into our soil, water, and air.⚠️ Fire and explosion hazards that put our neighborhoods at risk.⚠️ Long-term health impacts from exposure to harmful emissions.⚠️ Environmental damage that threatens our families’ safety and future.This isn’t just a conversation — it’s a call to be informed and proactive. The choices we make today will determine whether we create a thriving and safe community for generations to come.
