LITHIUM BATTERY FACILITY SHOULD NOT BE PLACED OVER WESTFIELD WATER SUPPLY
Everyone wants clean air and water. Article 97 of the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts states “The people have the right to clean air and water,” and protection in their right to the conservation, development and utilization of the agricultural, mineral, forest, water, air and other natural resources and declared to be a public purpose.”
Everyone should want any technology that makes energy cleaner, more reliable, more efficient and more affordable. But it is unacceptable that any so-called clean technology should pose a risk to residents, businesses, farm land and environment, and threaten a city’s drinking water supply. Given the history of catastrophic fires in lithium storage facilities in many states across the United States in recent years, it is an unreasonable risk to assume that nothing will ever go wrong over the entire lifetime of such a facility over a regional water supply, the Barnes Aquifer.
