@PRBA_BATTERY
Fire Code Com working on
@NFPA
and International Fire Code battery storage proposals. It's a big deal with possible impact on all battery chemistries. More info here: https://t.co/jj30WecEeA… .

Several of my pro-utility dereg friends have responded to my tweets regarding restructuring saying (basically), "Tony, you're wrong - dereg is great. The % rate decline in dereg states looks good compared to regulated the last few years." But this is a red herring, IMO. /thread

@PRBA agrees - and has repeatedly called for a global crackdown on illegal shipments of LI batteries and stressed that strict enforcement bolstered by fines and criminal penalties. As per https://t.co/ifG28ghfbQ

[IATA @IATA]

Shipments of rogue LI batteries put aircraft & pax at risk & must be criminalized! 🚫🦹‍♂️

@tiacaorg @fiatainternati1 @Shippers_Forum & #IATA demand govts step-up, ensure international regulations are enforced & are backed up with penalties: https://t.co/y1Pq0lH3at #IATAMediaDay

#NobelPrize2019 What an accolade for #lithiumion batteries. "They have laid the foundation of a wireless, fossil fuel-free society, and are of the greatest benefit to humankind." More here: https://t.co/KHKi5VPbko

[PRBA @PRBA_BATTERY]

A great day for lithium ion batteries. Congrats to the winners of the @NobelPrize for Chemistry awarded to the inventors of the lithium ion battery #lithiumbattery. A great headline too. "Lithium Batteries Finally Get their Due with Nobel Prize Win."@UCSUSA.

[PRBA @PRBA_BATTERY]

@PRBA discourages new FTC rules or policy relating to “right to repair” that would exacerbate fire risks arising from the mishandling of lithium ion batteries and consumer products. #NixthefixFTC

[PRBA @PRBA_BATTERY]

@PRBA emphasizes its commitment to safe handling of consumer products and lithium ion batteries #NixthefixFTC

[PRBA @PRBA_BATTERY]

@PRBA_BATTERY looks forward to expressing our lithium ion battery safety concerns tomorrow @FTC Nixing the Fix workshop https://t.co/RGZ0gIOR68 on consumer and unauthorized third-party repairs of consumer products with lithium ion batteries. #NixtheFixFTC

[PRBA @PRBA_BATTERY]

@USDOT and @EPA have announced four joint workshops on disposal and recycling of lithium batteries. Look for a discussion of latest reg requirements. First one is July 29 in Atlanta. For details https://t.co/AZu1Vzs3rm

[PRBA @PRBA_BATTERY]

ICYMI: @IATA highlights challenges with non-compliant shippers of lithium ion batters #lithiumion and disappointing lack of government enforcement. Check out this story here https://t.co/Hqs6mrj9YX. @PRBA_BATTERY endorses IATA's position.

[PRBA @PRBA_BATTERY]

@HazardousCargo Thought you would be interested in this letter. https://t.co/VAM9XrBLrM from @PRBA_BATTERY

[PRBA @PRBA_BATTERY]

@PRBA_BATTERY + 7 trade groups have sent a letter https://t.co/VAM9XrkaAe to @PHMSA_DOT supporting its IFR harmonizing air shipment safety regs with @icao rules but urging a delay in enforcing new package labeling rules for lithium batteries shipped by highway and rail.
