Y’all trying to have Musk drain the Great Lakes for profit instead of just laughing at another unforced error from Texas need to learn the wisdom of allowing your enemies to defeat themselves.
I’m so happy he left California. Texas and Musk deserve each other.

The whole reason he set up in Texas is simple: Lower Taxes.

It’s not illegal to shoot anyone in Texas
Plus his workers will be illegal immigrants and you get a bounty in Texas for every illegal you bag.
They should run a hose from the great lakes to Texas so the factory has plenty of water.
Is It recirculated? I never know what to think when this kind of article pops up.
Lots of produced water from oil&gas wells can have amounts of lithium in it. Is this a need for freshwater or oil&gas waste water?
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.
I hate human suffering, but Texas is a shit hole with Abbot and Paxton making the world the worst place they can. If those two breathe bad air, maybe it will end their time on the scene a little bit sooner.
Run a freaking pipeline from the ocean and dessalinate it. And put the bill on the factory.
Maybe they can ship the water back from mars…
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.
Not every crop has the same water requirements . I’d be complaining about alfalfa or almonds too.
In New Jersey, good farm land is being dug up to make new warehouses along the interstate because it’s cheaper than refurbishing the rotting warehouses next door. It’s fucking gross.
Looking at the land around it, it looks like cereal cropping which at least where i live isn’t irrigated.v pretty close to the ocean, so salinity might be a problem for alfalfa
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.
To be fair, enough lithium would essentially tranquilize a horse…
Just dig a tunnel from there to the ocean.
Boring
How about you can kayak from the ocean to the facility. But the cave also has fire throwers. Waves + fire throwers + 20miles kayaking.
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?
Yeah right, the town locals will blame Mexicans for using all the water to open juice stands.
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.
Why not be. Most people apparently won’t defend themselves from being oppressed if you spin up some fantastical story to confuse them.
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?
Here I was thinking the ratio was also a problem with that math. Full…?
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.
