• Foes of proposed battery storage project in town of Ulster point to problems at Terra-Gen's California facility (dailyfreeman.com) — Residents in Hurley, Kingston, and the town of Ulster are being warned by project opponents that past fires at Terra-Gen’s Mojave Desert battery facility raise safety questions for a proposed 15-acre battery site at 430 Hurley Avenue. Organizers argue New York environmental and town law allow officials to weigh the company’s operational history and financial penalties when deciding whether the Ulster project could adversely affect nearby neighborhoods.
