Climate Science Coalition of America Executive Director Steve Goreham has warned against governments worldwide investing in lithium-ion batteries.
“This is a worldwide epidemic,” Goreham told Sky News Australia. “It’s a lithium fire epidemic.”

Last year, Goreham wrote an article which was published by The Wall Street Journal as an opinion piece. Titled ‘If Green Energy Is the Future, Bring a Fire Extinguisher’, the article describes how instead of making the world safer, lithium batteries keep bursting into flames.
In his article, Gorham explained that the increasing adoption of “green” energy has led to a rise in lithium battery fires, which are breaking out in various locations, including highways, factories, home garages and storage rooms.
The high energy density of lithium batteries makes them prone to catching fire and burning with high heat, and in some cases, even exploding, which is why airlines prohibit them in checked baggage.
A battery factory fire in Hwaseong, South Korea, last year killed 22 workers, with experts estimating that most were killed by toxic gases emitted by the burning batteries.
Scotland experienced two major fires in battery recycling centres last year, one in Kilwinning and the other near Glasgow. The Kilwinning fire burned for several days with the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service urging nearby residents to remain indoors with windows closed due to the hazardous conditions. With the Glasgow fire, witnesses reported explosions, noises like gunshots, “steel flying everywhere” and a huge plume of black smoke. Ten fire trucks were needed and the blaze lasted four days.
E-bike battery fires have become a serious problem in New York City and are the leading cause of fire, causing 270 blazes last year and killing 18 people, with similar issues reported in Australia, Canada and other nations.
The introduction of electric cars has led to a massive increase in battery size and potential destructiveness, with a recent Tesla semi-truck crash in California requiring 50,000 gallons of water to extinguish the flames.
Automakers have recalled millions of electric vehicles (“EVs”) due to battery-fire problems, with some EVs prone to self-ignition banned from parking lots in China, South Korea and the US.
Governments are responding to the rash of battery fires by promoting the use of even larger high-density lithium batteries as part of their efforts to phase out coal, oil and natural gas in favour of wind and solar energy.
Grid-scale batteries, which store excess electricity when wind and solar output is high and release it when wind and solar output is low, are viewed as the solution to wind and solar intermittency, but the number of grid battery fires is growing.
In May 2024, A fire at a Gateway Energy Storage facility in San Diego burned for 11 days, leading to evacuation orders and calls for a moratorium on new battery storage facilities, which was ultimately voted down by the county’s Board of Supervisors.
Goreham says that policymakers need to pay more attention to the dangers of the green-energy transition, citing the example of electric school buses, which can explode when they catch fire, unlike diesel buses which can be put out with a fire extinguisher by the driver.

Yes, but why aren’t these objectors also focusing on car ferries? I travel across the English Channel and Bay of Biscay regularly to Spain. What happens when one bursts into flames onboard? It’s only a matter of time.
January 26, 2023: Norwegian shipping company, Havila Kystruten announced on January 12 that it is banning electric cars, hybrids and hydrogen vehicles on its ferries because of a potential fire hazard. This follows a risk analysis conducted by Proactima, a Norwegian risk management advisory consultancy, according to chief executive Bent Martini.
If my memory serves me rightly, a Norwegian ferry company (whether or not this is the same one, I don’t know) made a similar announcement nearly a year ago.
This is a kettle about to “boil over”.
I certainly agree, “It’s only a matter of time” as you correctly assert.
I live on a Scottish island ‘served’ by Calmac (government owned ferry company).
There was talk some six months ago, or more, that EV’s would be banned from the ferries up here, due to a few isolated incidences here and there.
It’s like having a loaded gun on your head. When the scenario that you paint comes to fruition, as it surely will, what then; a moratorium/total shutdown until…
My friend put her electric bike to charge in the patio and set the house on fire luckily the family were all home to save the house
Jump off you cannot put these out with salt water it makes it worse
This man is on his second electric car, a 120,000 GBP Porsche Taycan, but now worth less than 30,000 GBP because the value of EVs drop rapidly.
I have watched several of his videos and in one he says that he can’t go on cross-Channel ferries because EVs are banned.
He was sent a letter from Porsche who told him not to park his car near to a building or next to another car because it could burst into flames. His neighbour threatened to sue him if he parked his car on his own driveway because it would be close to the neighbour’s house.
His insurance company cancelled his house insurance because he parked his car on the drive.
You need to see several of his videos to see what an absolute nightmare EVS are.
In one he shows the time his battery was low and the car went into “limp mode” – it limited his speed to under 60 mph and he could not have the heating on. It was winter.
He got to a car park that had charging points. He plugged his car in and it said that it would take three hours to charge his car. On the car park there was a sign that said there was a penalty of ONE HUNDRED POUNDS for staying for more than two hours.
There is loads more in his videos.

See the next 15 minutes to see the problems he has on that journey and to see the abuse he gets for telling the truth about EVs.
In the “The UK GOVERNMENT sent me a LETTER saying they LIED” video he waffles on and on so if you want to know what the letter said, jump to 20mins.

Governments have had access to high technologies (zero-point free energy, ET origin gravity and power technologies) and more for some decades. They DO NOT NEED to mess with dangerous fusion and fission technologies of the past. The people who think they ‘run’ everything are addicted to older tech because of the social reality that comes with it, from which they profit.
My son works for a German car manufacturer he goes to the coldest places in the world to find out why e vs freeze and the hottest places in the world to find out why they explode in heat been doing this for 10 years and would not have an e v given

Wait until someone with a lot of money and influence gets burned or looses their home… suddenly the powers that be, who are lauding elec vehicles will probably do an about face, too bad if it’s cost the tax payer billions, and the bankers will be laughing all the way to their private islands.
