And to be blunt, considering the contents of modern buildings;
I'd almost rather be in the battery room. They make rocket fuel
out of the same stuff as in furniture stuffing and carpets/padding.
Once it starts.....

What DOES scare the shit out of me is battery rooms built by
idiots; including those who THINK they know what they are doing,
as well as the "It's just a few batteries" crowd.

It's too bad Admiral Rickover was so successful; we could use a
generation of retired Diesel-electric boat batteryroom rates.
