Published | Video Starts at 04:08

For the sake of time, I'll condense the last few, but I want to just make a point to my colleagues. I'm not speaking to our two witnesses here, but In La county, they have decided to put one of these best facilities, battery electronic storage system facilities, massive facilities, facilities next to the 14 with a railroad going by it within a couple miles of a large water reservoir that feeds about a quarter, that hydrates about a quarter million folks. It already has existing large gauge transmission wires overhead, so that if something happens below them, they are going to be compromised. (04:08–04:26)
