    “We’re very pro-electric vehicle and pro-green energy.

    ​

    “But the industry that destroys green spaces is … green in name only.”

    ​

    ​

    What factory doesn’t destroy green spaces?

      Nearly all building destroys green spaces. You gotta put it somewhere.

      Where’s the outrage against the cookie cutter housing developments that clear hectares of green land to build houses that look like shit stand out like a sore thumb, and maybe have 1 tree or a bush out front while everything in between is concrete and asphalt.

          I’m just pointing out that this type of housing does very similar damage to the environment, but we aren’t seeing article about that constantly everywhere. Dozens of hectares of land clear cut to plop down bullshit, pave over it all, and install a handful of usually non-native plants for accent.

          But that provides housing versus a factory, so there are fewer complaints about it generally. Those articles also don’t get headlines people will click, and thus advertising clicks.

          I’m not sure wt:thon is saying they are pro-cookie cutter housing, but that they aren’t as loud about it as they are about Tesla.

        Tesla built a factory outside Berlin and people fought them on having to clear the forest for the space.

        It was a non bio diverse planted forest in a spot that was eventually expected to be used like this, and then Tesla planted a bigger more bio diverse one elsewhere to compensate.

        But they still fought it tooth and nail.

          Getting tired of this boring ass brain dead comment everywhere. Even true, the comment brings nothing to the discussion. It’s just a waste of space and proves you have nothing to actually contribute to the conversation. The need to be noticed even if it’s by posting insufferable thoughtless commentary.
