LIVE From Lithium Battery Plant Fire Town Hall in Castroville, California
Our Tina-Desiree Berg is LIVE from a community meeting with concerned and sick residents near the Vistra lithium battery plant that erupted in fire over two weeks ago
Our Tina-Desiree Berg is LIVE from a town hall in Castroville, California where concerned residents will be meeting about the massive Lithium battery plant fire that erupted in nearby Moss Landing in mid-January—sickening residents as far as 50 miles away 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).
