📰 News we're reading

• Islip Town Board bans large-scale battery storage projects (news12.com) — Hauppauge residents and firefighters just saw the Islip Town Board vote to indefinitely ban large-scale battery storage facilities, halting a proposed project at 220 Rabro Drive near homes, businesses, and a school. Supporters say the technology is vital for renewable energy and the grid, while opponents, including the Hauppauge Fire District, warn they're not equipped for potential lithium-ion fires, so the debate may continue.
