Wife, mother, homeschool teacher. I love my land, I know what I know, and nothing more. An ever evolving version of self. TV show- Overlooked Critical Matters
Well this was an interesting read:
Federal lawsuit from a Water company in New York against a battery energy storage company over contamination after a fire. For over a year I have expressed this very concern. Concern that if the battery storage units near water sources caught fire, the potential contamination to a critical resource such as water. In van zandt county we have at least 3 major water resources that would be impacted if this were to occur.
1. Carrizo Wilcox
2. Lake Tawakini
3. Cedar Creek Lake
All of which are used for drinking water and would impact MILLIONS at a catastrophic scale. This is EXACTLY what I've been saying and this is just the first FEDERAL case to come forward. We are rushing industrial scale projects without knowing what the potential longterm implications will be. Once water is gone, we cannot create more. Citizen safety and welfare are prudent and must be taken seriously. Confirmed contamination in Missouri, California, and New York. Will Texas be next?
Case 2:26-cv-03246-ARL
Document 1 Filed 05/29/26

SUFFOLK COUNTY WATER
AUTHORITY,
Plaintiff,
-against-
EAST HAMPTON ENERGY STORAGE
CENTER, LLC; LG CHEM, LTD.; and LG
ENERGY SOLUTION, LTD.,
Defendants.
Plaintiff Suffolk County Water Authority (“the Authority,” or “Plaintiff”) is a
public drinking water provider serving approximately 1.2 million residents and businesses in Suffolk County, New York. The Authority brings this action to recover the substantial costs
necessary to protect the public and restore its damaged drinking water supply wells, which are
contaminated with the chemical perfluoropropionic acid (“PFPrA”), among potentially other chemicals, which were released during a fire at the East Hampton Energy Storage Center
(“EHESC”).
2. EHESC is a lithium-ion battery energy storage system (“BESS”) that provides
energy supply to the Long Island Power Authority (“LIPA”). On May 31, 2023, a thermal runaway
event in battery cells at EHESC caused a fire (the “EHESC Fire”). During the EHESC Fire, battery
casings opened and released their contents. Large amounts of water applied to fight the EHESC
Fire ran off of the facility and onto the dirt road and undeveloped area south of EHESC, conveying
chemicals from the batteries (“EHESC Contaminants”) along with it. The contaminated fire suppression water percolated into the ground and transported EHESC Contaminants to the
groundwater, through which EHESC Contaminants migrated to wells in the Authority’s
Bridgehampton Road wellfield (“Bridgehampton”).
3. The Authority has detected EHESC Contaminants in its Bridgehampton wells,
including PFPrA, an ultrashort-chain per- and polyfluorinated alkyl substance (“PFAS”), at levels
that exceed the 50 parts per billion (“ppb”) New York State maximum contaminant level (“MCL”)
for unspecified organic contaminants (“UOC MCL”). 1 An MCL is the maximum level of a contaminant allowed in public drinking water which, once established, creates a standard that
requires water systems to monitor contaminant levels, keep contaminant levels below the MCL,
and report exceedances to customers.
4. The EHESC Contaminants include ultrashort-chain PFAS, which are known
components of lithium-ion battery cells and/or environmental breakdown products of such
components. “Ultrashort-chain PFAS” refers to PFAS molecules with two or three carbon atoms.
There is a growing body of evidence of the toxicity of ultrashort-chain PFAS, including those
detected in the Bridgehampton wells.
5. Additional EHESC Contaminants may have already or will soon arrive at the
Bridgehampton wells. The Authority’s sampling, monitoring, and testing for EHESC Fire impacts
is ongoing.
6. To prevent exposing its customers to elevated levels of EHESC Contaminants, and
in response to the exceedances of the UOC MCL, the Authority has removed two Bridgehampton
wells from service and restricted its use of the two other Bridgehampton wells.

My youngest kiddo urgently needed me, but I want to remind everyone the fight against hyperscale data centers has no political party affiliation. This is about human and environmental health issues, with another angle in Constitutional protections.

Don’t Miss This Powerful Episode of The Tamara Scott Show from Worldview‼️
What happens when massive industrial projects (solar farms, wind turbines, battery storage, transmission lines, and enormous data centers) are dropped onto rural America’s family farmland from the top down?
In this eye-opening episode, I expose how this pattern is playing out in America: higher electricity rates for working families, disappearing farmland, strained resources, and almost zero real oversight.
Companies submit attestations and promise they’re following the rules… but boots-on-the-ground verification? Almost nonexistent, even on projects labeled “national security.
This isn’t just about energy or development. It’s about something much deeper. We are a Constitutional Republic, not a top-down system where government and corporations get to override We the People. Our Founders placed power in the hands of everyday citizens, balanced between tyranny and anarchy. Yet we are watching a dangerous drift where big money and influence are placed above rural families, property rights, and local communities.
Work is not supposed to be easy. As we approach America’s 250th anniversary, we have serious work to do: re-center our Constitutional Republic, restore local control, and return power to the people.
If you care about rural America, constitutional liberty, and the future of this country, you need to watch this episode.
Watch The Tamara Scott Show right now and hear the full discussion on how we fight back, starting at the local level.

I appreciate the work you are doing, please keep it coming. The reality is that we the people will not standup to calling out their corrupt policies. If it doesn’t affect your job, home, family, friends or your wallet. You continue to be complacent with their corruption. It’s the out of sight out of mind type scenario. This will affect your children and your grandchildren in the future. Get involved in your local community, city councils, school boards now! . I’m going to fight like Hell! 🔥🔥🔥
Texans please research the utility and implications of AI Data Centers, especially leading up to the Republican State Convention. Don’t be gaslit by talking heads blurting statements such as, “China’s kicking our butts in space!” Our children and next generations depend on you at the local level, long-range. Texas should be leading —for the goodness of every man, woman and child.
(See VA, NJ, PA)
And it's NOT right that they are NOT being upfront with the people who live in these cities. There should be a Town Hall where we can voice our concerns and ask questions. I'm tired of getting the boot with the backdoor.
They are going to keep on and keep on and keep on abusing the citizens of this country and state, to the point it will not be pretty, and they will have nobody to blame but themselves.
🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️👋
I am sure there will be nothing bad that comes from a CCP military company simulating disasters for "testing" with toxic and unmitgateable lithium fires.
I am officially done with this week!
