Dilekçe şu adrese gönderiliyor: DeSoto Planning and Zoning and city Council members

Emerald Hill Energy Storage and Vesper are proposing a 250 megawatt lithium-ion energy storage facility be placed on the south west corner of Eagle Dr. and Westmoreland in DeSoto, TX.

Lithium storage facilities should NOT be housed in residential areas! These facilities are prone to fires and explosions with toxic plumes, detrimental to humans/pets, as well as environmental and personal economic concerns.

The proposed site is yards from DeSoto High School, and at least 3 neighborhoods share boundaries with the proposed site. The proposal would house 100 lithium-ion battery containers in the residential area!

The latest battery energy storage system (BESS) fire ignited at the Otay Mesa Gateway Energy Storage in San Diego on 5/15/24, burned for five days—the city was fully evacuated--after two weeks the fire was still smoldering.

Emerald Hill’s website and mailings suggest there is an established partnership with the City of DeSoto, but it is misleading—they have not filed the required materials with the city.

Please join us in saying, "NO!" to Emerald Hill's and Vesper's proposal to erect a BESS in DeSoto, TX by signing this petition!
