Authorities in Monterey County, California lifted all evacuations Friday night, one day after a fire broke out at one of the world's largest lithium battery storage facilities.
This recent fire highlights not only the immediate environmental effects but also the long-term implications for the role of lithium-ion technology in renewable energy.
Monterey County supervisors on Tuesday declared a state of emergency in response to last week's major fire at the Vistra lithium battery plant in Moss Landing.
