Podesta’s Form Energy projects will destroy drinking water for 25 million people in the MS-Ohio River basins
Hillary Clinton and John Podesta
John Podesta is Senior Advisor to Joe Biden for Clean Energy Innovation and Implementation.
What does that mean?
Papa John plays Santa Claus with taxpayer money to Biden Administration donors and China without being accountable for the money.
Last month, John said he is in charge of "Energy Infrastructure Reform” in this White House press release:
Hillary Clinton hired Podesta to run her Campaign for President.
John oversaw the Obama Administration’s climate change and energy policy.

Last year, the Podesta Group was paid a million dollars to lobby Congress for China.
Tony and John are the Podesta Group.
According to their filings with the Justice Department, they represent China, not the U.S.

The brothers also represent Form Energy.

John and Tony Podesta were paid a million dollars to lobby Congress and the EPA to exempt Form Energy’s two battery storage projects from pollution regulations.
The projects are on the:
Mississippi River in Minneapolis, Minnesota and,
Ohio River in Weirton, W. Virginia
The Weirton manufacturing plant broke ground last week.
On the site of the closed Weirton Steel plant.
It is 55 acres or one square mile.
Without submitting an environmental study to the federal or state Environmental Protection Agencies (EPA).
The project was approved by W. Virginia’s Governor and State Legislature.
What contaminants remain in the soil and groundwater from 70 years of steel and tin production?
Without an environmental study, who knows?
Where is the contaminated soil from the Weirton Steel plant being dumped?
The Ohio River?
Does it have any mercury or lead in it?
The Ohio River flows into the Mississippi River to the Gulf of Mexico.
Twenty million people depend on the Mississippi River for their drinking water.
The red dot on the above map is Weirton, WV.
Major cities on the Ohio River (above).
Five million people depend on the Ohio River for its drinking water.
Podesta’s projects will destroy drinking water for people in the Mississippi and Ohio River basins.
How?
Congress will exempt:
“battery storage” plants from EPA regulations, and
will allow trade with China to buy “critical resources.”
Form Energy from liability in the event of a toxic event.
Sixteen other bills in Congress will allow an unelected political hack, the EPA Administrator, to exempt battery storage companies from polluting without federal oversite.
The EPA is the Environmental Protection Agency.

Here is one example:
Then there is flooding damage from rain and melting snow.
Every year.
And fire risk from dry ground and industrial accidents.
Fire departments cannot put out fires from many electric-powered vehicles and storage batteries.
Plus, their batteries are charged by electricity plants fueled by coal.
Here are some examples of river flooding from rain and melting snow:

Another risk is transporting Form Energy’s batteries along the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers.
River barges collide with their river banks and lose their cargo.
Here is an example:
What about air pollution caused by Form Energy’s kilns that will make graphene by burning medical waste?
Graphene will be used instead of lithium to reduce costs.
Form Energy’s Weirton kilns will look something like this:
What medical waste will be burned in these giant ovens or kilns?
Medical waste includes:
plastics, textiles, and polyvinylchloride (PVC)
needles
pathological wastes from surgery and autopsy
pharmaceutical waste
mattresses
Why burn medical waste?
Burning it provides “excellent” energy recovery and electricity generation conditions.
According to Form Energy.
The problem is that no politicians supporting the project said anything about burning medical waste.
Nor have they disclosed any of its air pollution risks either.
EPA guidelines for State Medical Waste Management were last updated in 1992.

When was the last time a climate change project worked?
What happened to energy generated from solar panels and windmills?
Without federal subsidies, how well did they work at night or without wind?
Why can’t Form Energy find a different location for their Weirton factory?
Why must it be Weirton?
Updated August 1st
The Medical Waste Incinerator to be used in the Weirton-Form Energy project is from Beston Group Co., Ltd.
They are based in China.
How durable is their equipment?
The people depending on drinking water from the Mississippi and Ohio River basins are about to discover.
The Beston incinerator unit to be used in the Weirton project was received in New York City in December.
This will be the first medical incinerator made by Beston.
