What's your point? That out of the tens of millions of homes, residential, and commercial buildings that receive natural gas just in the U.S. alone, there were only 11 explosions over the course of 2 years?
There are significantly fewer home-scale or business-scale battery installations. The fact that there have already been so many issues with them is concerning, since they're much harder to put out than other fires.
Yes, there will be new safety procedures developed to account for these new risks. But they aren't in place yet and they won't be if Tesla fans ignore reality and pretend like nothing's wrong.
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.
