It’s good to see projects like this being implimented. There is a lot of work still to be done in moving to cleaner fuels and every step like this gets us a bit closer.
I would like to see more investment in putting in place recycling/end of life processes for things like batteries, we don’t have a great record in that area when we can’t just send everything overseas. Hopefully that will come too, but I suspect we will end up playing catch-up with stockpiled batteries etc. at some point.

With the fire risk lithium batteries pose, I do not hold great hope that ENGIE will manage this well, given their history of causing coal mine fires because they didn’t think the sprinklers were necessary… Lol
