Why Texas when there are other states that don’t have droughts?
Also what will happen in the case of a fire?
Toxic smoke from California lithium battery plant fire raises concerns about air qualityy
It all comes down to taxes.
Waste of good farm land.
Not really good farm land if there’s a water shortage. People would be complaining about alfalfa or almonds being grown in it, and they’d be right.
Maybe they can ship the water back from mars…
Just run a good propaganda campaign saying lithium protects from avian flu and they’ll be able to bottle and sell the lithium infused water instead of dumping it.
Just dig a tunnel from there to the ocean.
Even at the lowest estimated demand, Tesla’s water needs are raising concerns for local residents. “It’s just upsetting that we still give water contracts out when we’re in such dire straits,” said Myra Alaniz, a Nueces County resident who lives just outside of Robstown.
I feel like we’re going to see this more and more as the years go on
The question is do they have enough money to run the plant AND put out the fires from the Molotov cocktails, which presumably the residents will be using?
They are able to do this because they know governments will favor their Money over the needs of the local population.
It’s not intentionally evil. Is turn a blind eye evil.
Have you been living under a rock for the last ten years or so? These people are very very intentionally evil.
It’s not intentionally evil.
Idk, man. I can’t help notice that the city is in a smaller, poor, majority Hispanic region with bad state-level representation and a history of weak environmental protections.
It’s intentionally exploitative and callous of the very obvious outcomes of the policy. I’d consider that “evil” in the same way racing an F-350 through a dog park is “evil”.
Conservatives: So they must deserve it! Suddenly Joe Rogan is talking about the nuances to driving a truck through dogparks.
I’m sure musk has seen tank girl and working on a way to get water from people. You guys just got to be a little more patient, he has his mouth full of the future president’s balls right now
You sure you got the mouth-to-ball relationship correct there?
Well think of how much power you have over a guy when their balls are in your mouth
Sucking balls is alpha af.
Assert dominance.
Let us know how that works out in a few years.
People in Corpus Christi will all die, but Musk will be 2x trillionaire
Fox News blames it on: whatever new word that means “accepting” or “justice” on the Left.
Sure seems like the end goal is an even shittier version of Feudalism where the lords feel no responsibility or accountability to their land or serfs.
Welp, that doesn’t hold long.
Sure does.
I don’t understand building facilities like this in south Texas. It’s ridiculously hot most of the year and lacks rain even in coastal areas. No one has ever recommended moving here for work (most actually recommended against it) and I’ve been in Texas since 1989. Surely there are better climates to build into so you don’t waste so much energy on cooling and bringing in water. Were there no superfund sites available?
Companies would build their factories on Venus if it offered tax deductions.
You misunderstand the reasoning: Big GQP sez, “Get in here ya fascist fuck, ya! Here’s a ton of taxpayer money. Sure, poison the earth, abuse your workers, cheat on the five dollars worth of tax you’d owe ayway - we absolutely do not. give. a. fuck! Haha, here have some guns.”
I’m sure Shmelon is taking all environmental and saftey considerations into factor /s. Lithium and it’s needed friends don’t have such a great reputation with human life.
Hey, what’s South Africa got to do with it?! . . .
Oh. Sorry, I thought you were maligning South Africa somehow.
Carry on.
I’m pretty sure his evilness will win over his stupidity.
