Stop the build of BESS facilities in Rural Areas

Citizens in Agricultural areas should be notified and asked to vote on the build of BESS facilities on AGRICULTURAL LAND. These facilities are buying land all over Texas in non restricted areas for a reason. We do not have the regulations in place to protect our home or generational lands. We should have a way to veto these if they are not wanted near us. They are a safety hazard and are not regulated. This needs to be changed and addressed as well.

Nancy, can you tell us a little more about what you have learned about the lithium battery storage systems --BESS?

. Foreign agents buying the land and building them (sometimes next to schools)
. Biden’s Tax incentive to ‘invest’ in USA with “Green Aid”
. The CCP owns the CATL Software in the fire suppression systems
. The BESS can only provide 3 hours of energy if the grid stop working vs. the risk (risk / reward ratio)
.what we are seeing in USA and around the world regarding “runaway”
.water will not put these fires out, and our rural communities do not have the means to treat the toxic aftermath for people,animals, or the land
. Any Bills that are already out there to help communities have a voice regarding BESS plants in their area?
