Unnamed Administration sources reported that Stephen Sprunk said:
I understand there are safety implications for the public, facility staff, and emergency services. I would support a proposal for mandatory markings, access control, environmental containment, fume ventilation, or any other reasonable safety measures; I can't support any proposal that effectively bans batteries.
And to be blunt, considering the contents of modern buildings; I'd almost rather be in the battery room. They make rocket fuel out of the same stuff as in furniture stuffing and carpets/padding. Once it starts..... What DOES scare the shit out of me is battery rooms built by idiots; including those who THINK they know what they are doing, as well as the "It's just a few batteries" crowd. It's too bad Admiral Rickover was so successful; we could use a generation of retired Diesel-electric boat batteryroom rates. -- A host is a host from coast to coast.................wb8foz@nrk.com & no one will talk to a host that's close........[v].(301) 56-LINUX Unless the host (that isn't close).........................pob 1433 is busy, hung or dead....................................20915-1433
