Satellite image analysis shows 329 hectares of forest cleared during development of factory in Germany
The development of a Tesla gigafactory near Berlin has resulted in about 500,000 trees being felled, according to satellite analysis.
The building of the German factory has been highly controversial and attracted significant protests, as well as prompting a debate about the trade-offs involved in developing a green economy.
Elon Musk, Tesla’s owner, has criticised local police for letting off “leftwing protesters”.
Satellite images show 329 hectares (813 acres) of forest were cut down at the site between March 2020 and May 2023, according to the environmental intelligence company Kayrros. That is equivalent to approximately 500,000 trees.
It’s believable, because of greed, no rich guy is throwing free money away…
Tell me how much did he spend on Xitter again? Are you sure you know who we‘re dealing with?
He didn’t mean to actually buy Twitter, he fucked up because of his ego and couldn’t get out of it without getting sued to oblivion.
And that sounds like a guy who carefully plans his gigafactory around every tree to get the most buck for his bark to you?
