    Moss Landing Battery Energy Storage System Fire, Sept. 18, 2026. Do you know Hammurabi's Codes? The Babylonian king wrote them around 1750 B.C.E. to protect people from new technologies' hazards and to hold a builder liable if their project caused harm. More famously, he also called for "an eye for an eye." Hammurabi's codes are still relevant: before any bridge, building, highway, water treatment facility, electrical system, smart meter, smart phone, cell site, solar PV system, wind facility, b

Photo by Jocelyn Augustino, FEMA If a developer wants to install a utility-scale solar photovoltaic (PV) facility and/or battery energy storage (BESS) near you, consider yourself blessed. You get to shake up your assumptions about "green," "clean" and "renewable" energy.

    You know SpaceX-- the enterprise Elon Musk founded in 2002 to improve ordinary peoples' access to outer space and to colonize Mars? As I write, the upper stage of a discarded Falcon 9 Space X rocket barrels (unplanned) toward the Moon at 5400 miles per hour. Falcon 9 transports commercial payloads, satellites and national security missions to space.
