JUPITER POWER WITHDRAWS APPLICATION FOR LITHIUM BATTERY FACILITY IN WESTFIELD
Thank you to everyone who prayed, worked, donated, placed a yard sign or did whatever they could to oppose 219 lithium battery storage units in Westfield, over the Barnes Aquifer. A single fire lasting days would have threaten much of the Pioneer Valley. In April, Jupiter Power withdrew it's application.
Everyone wants clean air and water.
Everyone should want any technology that makes energy cleaner, more reliable, more efficient and more affordable. But "clean energy" technology should pose a risk to first responders, residents, businesses, farm land and environment, and our city’s drinking water supply surrounding communities. Catastrophic fires at lithium storage facilities in other states pose an unreasonable risk. We cannot just hope that nothing bad will ever happen in the future. We all need to work together to oppose placing a lithium battery storage unit in the Connecticut Valley.

Increased the number of residents that are notified by mail of proposed changes in their neighborhood. Many more residents were notified about the lithium battery storage public hearing on December 5th because of Dan's work.
