The NOISE isn’t because it is a BESS, the NOISE he is complaining about is that it is a CONSTRUCTION SITE!
-
What a whiner.
-
Oh.... He fell in love with a view he didn't own. Can't especially advise doing that.
-
"My Therapy"? Karen.

It's Texas, a corporation could have built a chemical plant next door.

A few things... 1. It appears the noise/vibrations he's complaining about are CONSTRUCTION related that would be occurring with any improvement to the land; if he didn't want to endure construction adjacent to him, he should have purchased that land so as to control it. 2. On the other hand, it appears there is very little regulation on these battery farms in TX and it seems maybe there should be some(?) 3. This is pretty shoddy reporting; specifically around the concern about fire risk of Li-ion batteries. Is it certain they are using Li-ion packs or is that just an unverified assumption? Most stationary energy storage has moved on to LFP chemistries as they are cheaper, have a higher cycle life, can utilize the full charge range without negative long-term consequences, AND (wait for it) does not have the thermal runaway issues of Li-ion chemistries. I'm not saying they are using LFP and that this isn't an issue, but it would be nice if the coverage actually stated they were using Li-ion instead of just stating the homeowners concern about Li-ion batteries.

Nimby. Not in my back yard.. happens all the time. This stuff has to go somewhere. Its unfortunate. Could be worse, could have been a nuclear power plant
-
It's a couple of boxes you'll forget all about it once it's fully built. Other than that, buy forty acres, put your house in the center, and have no neighbors.😅 Oh, and be glad it's not a refinery.😂
-
should have bought the land when it was for sale if you wanted to control it.
-
Why don’t I feel bad, I mean I’m trying. I really am…
-
What a crybaby.

Those drywall cracks happen even without construction near by. Could just be expansive soil like high clay content in the soil. Texas house foundations are not very deep. I get cracks like that all the time because of the changing moisture content in the clay soil. Also, buying a house with empty land isn't great since you don't know what will pop up there unless you end up buying that land.

They should put a migrant shelter there instead
-
Construction noise is only there during construction. Can't own a view, unless you own the property. Plant a tree line right on your property edge. We need the batteries now.
-
BoooooHoooo They could have built a picker station You're lucky it's batteries
-
I guess they used SILENCERS to build his house. Does he use SCISSORS to cut his lawn?
-
It is what it is this ain’t no one’s problem but his
-
1. Is the battery system on line. Is it noisy, smelly or….? Texas does very little regulation
-
He needs a hemholtz frequency modulator.

This is just the beginning of the ridiculousness of large scale battery storage. The next shoe to drop is longevity. Unlike nearly every other component of the grid , these batteries will have to be replaced in ten years or less.
