I have to say that was a very informative article, I now feel equipped to debate this issue with the background and insight this article gave me.

Fck off...

The useless cnt that wrote this rubbish couldn't even write or check 4 sentences without making a typo ('Partyu' as that's a word)....what a moron... This is a 'syndicated' website that too many local rags in UK cities use, site is identical to Evening Times (Glasgow) etc. etc. and I thought nothing could be worse than that site ....

"A bipartisan bill aimed at improving the safety of rechargeable lithium-ion batteries is still awaiting action in the U.S. Senate, as advocates warn the threat of more fires caused by the batteries, which are commonly found in e-bikes and scooters, remains.

Some are pointing the finger of blame for the "holdup" at one Republican senator.

“This is a public safety emergency,” Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, one of the bill’s sponsors, said. “We’ve seen so many building fires, we’ve seen so many people dying in New York.”"
