Yeah, I think massive chemical batteries for storing excess electricity to facilitate a contrived green energy market is a bad idea.
Ever seen what happens when a coal mine catches fire? Link

back to water mills
Hydroelectric has grown up since then. See: hoover dam
Dams are actually really bad for the environment. They were sold as good because they don’t burn coal but it turns out that blocking rivers interferes with everything along it.
Hydroelectric dams have also claimed more human lives than any other type of power plant.
I’m pretty sure cancers and other health issues have killed way, way more than hydroelectric.
Not including the climate change thing…

i wanted cool images
There’s a geyser because of the underground heat.
Not Centralia but Hazlewood in 2014. Thought I’d use a more recent and closer to home image
They should have updated the road sign to include a fire warning there.
