A bomb ready to go off?! Are you sure about that, Mr Daley? Or is it just the fact that you are desperately trying to find a NIMBY reason to not have this in your village?
`Mr Daley said while local residents did not oppose the practice in principle, Heath was not the place for a 100MW site to be created.`
Question Answered.
If you were generous with the spacing and allowed a containers width between each unit, my man maths suggests that the total space with would take up would be around an acre if they were not stacked, assuming 40ft containers, so probably not really going to impact on green space that much. A horse paddock probably has more environmental impact than this!
Here’s where it is to be located, right next to the A1….and not near very many houses as far as I can see..
These people forget fuel refineries are a thing, and we all know how big of a bang they make when they go up
I’m from Wakefield. People who live in Heath have always been like this. They don’t want anything to “ruin” what they have. And this coming from a city whose biggest exports are Jane McDonald, Agadoo and a massive maximum security prison.
I’m not against it at all, but I did laugh at this:
> “The technology we’re using here, we use Tesla batteries which is the gold-plate of the industry.”
People will oppose absolutely anything, won’t they? We have to rebuild our entire energy system in a heroically short space of time to avoid calamity but people will bitch about things as benign as the electrical switchgear to receive energy from an offshore wind farm in their town. It makes me really hopeless about the part where we have to get inside every private house and replace all the fossil fuel heating systems one by one.
If this were near me I’d likely put in a letter of support. Throw in a couple of turbines or a solar panel farm as well and that would be even better.
I’d rather have that built near me instead of another 500 crap, expensive, identikit Persimmon houses with no extra services to support them.
>we use Tesla batteries which is the gold-plate of the industry.
They wanted to use the gold standard but gold plate was cheaper?

There was a fire only last year at a [Tesla battery farm in Australia](https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2021/aug/02/tesla-big-battery-fire-in-victoria-burns-into-day-three). I don’t believe the Tesla batteries are any better than others. But they the battery farms are built with the possibility of fire in mind.
The NIMBYs strike again…🙄
