• Hempstead Hearing Scheduled For Battery Storage Facility Moratorium (patch.com) — Battery storage rules in neighboring Hempstead could directly affect Oyster Bay residents, as critics warn potential fires might impact communities within a 20‑mile radius, including our town. Hempstead officials have set a Jan. 13 public hearing on extending a moratorium for reviewing new battery energy storage facilities, balancing New York’s clean‑energy goals with local concerns about safety, pollution, and siting near homes.
