Crane brought in to remove historic tree in England that was cut in act of vandalism_我的网站

一 | 当地时间1月16日下午，美国加利福尼亚州莫斯兰丁（Moss Landing）储能电厂发生火灾，导致约2000人被疏散，加州北部的1号公路部分关闭。 LONDON -- A crane on tracks was removing a much-loved tree Thursday from the place near the Roman landmark of Hadrian’s Wall in northeastern England where the sycamore was cut down two weeks ago in an apparent act of vandalism.The National Trust, which seeks to protect England’s heritage and natural landscapes, said the crane will lift the often-photographed and painted tree, which some believe to have been around 300 years old, from where it lies near the delicate and now-damaged wall. Andrew Poad, the site’s general manager for the National Trust, said it was necessary to move the tree “both to preserve the world-famous monument that is Hadrian’s Wall, and to make the site safe again for visitors.”Though the 50-foot (15-meter) tree is too big to move in one piece, experts hope the trunk can be kept in large sections in order to leave future options open on what could be done. The stump, which could generate new shoots, will be kept in place and is currently behind a protective barrier. Seeds have also been collected to see if they could be used to propagate new saplings.“We’ve explored every option for moving the tree and while it isn’t possible to lift it in one go, as the tree is multi-stemmed with a large crown, we have aimed to keep the trunk in as large sections as possible, to give us flexibility on what the tree becomes in future," Poad said.Northumbria Police arrested a 16-year-old boy and a man in his 60s after the tree was felled a fortnight ago. They were released on bail pending further inquiries into what a chief detective described as the “senseless destruction” of the tree.The tree was one of the main landmarks along Hadrian’s Wall, a UNESCO World Heritage Site built nearly 2,000 years ago, when Britain was part of the Roman Empire, to guard its northwestern frontier. For generations, walkers have paused to admire and photograph the tree at Sycamore Gap, which was made famous when it appeared in Kevin Costner’s 1991 film “Robin Hood: Prince Of Thieves.”The tree, which was cut down near the base of its trunk, could grow again, experts said, though they cautioned that it would never be the same.The National Trust has received thousands of messages about the tree, with advice on what to do with the stump and suggestions of what could be done with the felled tree, including making benches from the wood, a sculpture or souvenirs to sell.There will be a public consultation about what happens next at the site.。该电厂位于旧金山以南约124公里处，储存的锂电池用于储存太阳能等可再生能源产生的电能。此次起火的设施属于Vistra Energy的一个电池储能项目，这也是全球最大的储能电厂之一，拥有数万块储能电池。Vistra Energy是一家综合零售电力和发电公司，为美国21个州的400万住宅、商业和工业零售客户提供服务。此次火灾于1月16日下午3时开始，火势猛烈，浓烟滚滚。据蒙特雷县发言人称，截至1月17日凌晨，火势已得到一定程度的控制，并未蔓延到电厂以外。目前，火灾原因正在调查中，Vistra Energy在一份声明中表示，在发现火灾后，现场所有人都已安全撤离。起火设施附近另有一个由PG&E公司独立运营的Elkhorn储能项目，该项目采用特斯拉的256个Megapack电池单元，但特斯拉的电池或设施并未起火。对于外界盛传的特斯拉电池引发火灾，特斯拉CEO埃隆·马斯克通过社交媒体紧急辟谣称，“特斯拉与此次事故无关，所有Megapack设备运行良好”。不过外界之所以怀疑Megapack，是因为2022年9月，莫斯兰丁的PG&E Elkhorn储能项目曾发生火灾，导致1号公路关闭达12小时。后续调查发现，此次事故是由该项目中256个Megapack单元里的一个通风口防护罩安装不当引发的，雨水渗入电池后造成了故障。外媒分析，此次火灾再次引发了对储能设施安全性的关注，尤其是在干燥气候条件下，储能设施的火灾风险需要进一步评估和管理。澎湃新闻记者贺梨萍(本文来自澎湃新闻，更多原创资讯请下载“澎湃新闻”APP)。
