US EPA - Moss Landing Vistra Battery Fire Response
See Yellow Smoke?
Yellowish or brownish smoke can occur during turbine start-ups at the facility. When turbines start, emissions are temporarily higher than during steady operation—similar to starting a car engine. This is a normal, permitted part of facility operations. More information is available here
