Californians SICK After Lithium Battery Plant INFERNO - LIVE From Moss Landing, CA
Independent journalist Tina-Desiree Berg is LIVE ON-THE-GROUND in Northern California to speak with Brian Roeder and Matthew McFaul, two effected residents near the massive Vistra Lithium Battery Plant fire that erupted for days in mid January, 2025. Since then, local residents as far as 50 miles away have been sick, dealing with nosebleeds, lung burning, respiratory issues, headaches, dizziness, fatigue, metallic taste in mouth, and more. Making matters more alarming, the toxic chemicals released from the fire have very likely contaminated the "Salad Bowl of America"—the surrounding farms that produce 70% of America's vegetables including lettuce, broccoli, spinach, artichokes, cauliflower, celery (and also lots of fruits including strawberries and blueberries). Residents have largely been left to deal with this on their own; many of their doctors don't know what chemicals to test them for or what tests to conduct.
