BERLIN - A German court ruled on Thursday that Tesla Inc can continue to clear forest near the capital Berlin to build its first European car and battery factory, in a defeat for local environmental activists. The court said in a statement it had rejected urgent applications to stop the land being cleared of trees from several environmental groups, adding its ruling was final. It had temporarily halted the tree felling earlier this month.

The U.S. electric carmaker announced plans last November to build a Gigafactory in Gruenheide in the eastern state of Brandenburg.

Look around, the portion of issues caused by judges working on combination of technocracy and alibism raises.

Of all the areas in nazi germany they choose a forest location? What about next to a coal factory!

Capitalism contains the seeds of its own destruction. Unfortunately it appears we are going to be taken out with it. tesla environment

🤔☹😟

🤬

Crazy. Same site BMW had its eye on before building elsewhere. I couldn't find any Tesla building approvals for this yet? Why rush? Plenty of other local old industrial sites that could be cleared and used instead. elonmusk this is dire. (Arrogant?) ClimateAction ClimateChange

lol, another oxymoron

😂😂😂Go green ...go electric

Does the Tesla symbol look like an IUD to anyone else? 🤔

Germany definately not going green then! Add to that the huge extension to the massive brown coal mine !!

Sad!

What the....

Why didn't they want to build it in Scotland? We need a car factory.

🇩🇪 Make the world a greener place, cut down a forest and build a car factory.

Can’t see the forest for the trees 🤦‍♂️

What happened to the Roku channel?

elonmusk is that really the best option you had? Destroying a forest for your battery plant? Surely you could have built it without destroying an environmental ecosystem

You would think a guy as smart as Musk would build some place without the need to deforest.

They can burn the wood to generate the electricity to charge their cars.

Tesla is so green they can clear a forest to be more green.
