“So many issues” compared to what?

You are comparing an industrial site fire to residential fires. They are not comparable. Best wait for the incident investigation before declaring batteries dangerous and demanding they be banned.

I did not suggest that lithium batteries be banned (that was all you), I suggested that additional safety mechanisms would be needed to control the risk of spontaneous, uncontrollable combustion, which especially seems to be a risk with Tesla battery installations, seeing as how it has happened at every one of Tesla's Australian battery installations to date.
