Environmental groups file objections against every single major project in Germany. That's probably one of the reasons why major infrastructure projects in Germany never finish on time.

I'm all for environment, but sometimes these complaints are just for complaint's sake.

Not just against the major ones... it's part of the ambience, like background radiation or typos in commit messages. I probably like it better this way than how the alternative would turn out, but it sure comes at a price.

I am grateful that Musk has a really long breath, because not only environmental groups but alos government officials made this project so much more difficult than it should be. The gigafactory will bring thousands of jobs but.. yeah... there some small f*king spider or whatever insect in that area that needs to be protected at all costs! you can only shake your head at this.

Everyone wants a green future as long as it's manufacturer in Africa or Asia

Lol I don't think any environmental group would argument that. More like there will be no green future with personal vehicles, electric or not.

If you were that spider... You'd be happy if someone was trying to take care of you.

Change your perspective.

> The objection is based on the claim that Tesla has not sufficiently clarified what precautions it will take to prevent highly poisonous gas from escaping from the factory, the objection document showed.

This seems like a pretty reasonable objection and not just "complaints are just for complaint's sake".
