A huge battery has replaced Hawaii's last coal plant

Plus Power’s Kapolei battery is officially online. The pioneering project is a leading example of how to shift crucial grid functions from fossil-fueled plants to clean energy.

That looks nicer than a coal pit. Unfortunately in kelso they have plans to put a similar battery station on good farming land! Brown field sites would be much more suitable.

@MelanieIsMe That's a shame. Does Kelso have some suitable brownfield land? Worth talking to your local councillor!

Kelso is mostly good farming land. There surely must be some brown field site. We keep complaining.

@MelanieIsMe Good luck finding a suitable site! I hope you can track one down and take it to the council!
