It's new, and they bought into the idea that because it's new it's bad.
I guarantee they were fed at least in part by conspiracy theories off of Facebook, spread by pro-oil groups. The article mentions something about older, more toxic battery systems which these were confused for.
Because it's new and green, and green is for sissies!
Lithium batteries are complicated, and the article is not very specific. I assume this site was going to use LiFePO~4~, which is no more unstable than NiMH, but the other chemistries, like lithium-cobalt, tend to catch on fire when mishandled. Guess which is on the news more, and therefore which a group of people who weren't interested in battery chemistries would have heard of? π
Ya, thats probably true. I always hope there is some type of rational thought to this behavior that I havent thought of. But I doubt it here. Only thing I can think of is they wouldn't like the look of it. Hardly a reason to go as far as dealth threats...
