I work in emissions monitoring and this is super illegal.
Its only illegal if someone prosecutes them. That isn't going to happen before the purge.
Since when has illegality stopped ~~parasites~~ rich people?
Yup, the “penalty costs” are just costs of doing business. And the richer they get, the less impactful the penalty is so it gets easier to write off.
Specifically which part is illegal? Is it lack of planning permission? Is it an environmental law? Etc.
While I hate being cold to peoples suffering, didn’t most of them vote for the face eating leopard party. They asked for their corporate overlords personal profit to be protected from their lungs, their environment, any consideration. They asked for billionaires to be above the law.
They are clearly being wronged here, there should be heavy fines, shutdowns and even jail time but my empathy is in short supply
Blacks typically vote mostly for Democrats while whites typically vote for Republicans. So black neighborhoods are commonly not getting representation.
Mississippi is about as Jim Crow as it can possibly be, so it doesn't surprise me if white supremacist elected officials are pushed into office via gerrymandering, voter suppression and election tampering.
Yeah it was like 86% Harris from African Americans.
About 40% of Mississippi voters voted for Kamala Harris. Additionally, about 38% of the state's residents are black.
Just because they voted for a leopard to eat their face, doesn't mean they deserve to have their face eaten
People are downvoting because they can't reconcile one side being better than the other with both sides being bad. Is sacrificing citizens for AI companies a partisan issue? Does the mainstream democratic party oppose the unsustainable construction of data centers and what happens to people near those data centers?
Without voting reform there can only be two parties.
I mean the voting system needs to be reformed. There is no reform party, and cannot be because the voting system allows for only two parties. If Tucker Carlson or whoever manages to create a different far right party that steals more than 5% but less than 95% of the vote from the current far right party, that's bad for far right voters because the less right party will always come out ahead in major elections.
Not really. If he has permissions for a temporary install, it is above board. He just needs to get a permanent permit before moving to a long term generator instead of temporary fixes.
Should the permissions have been blocked? Now that's a diff question
So you're just going to parrot Elon Musk's public statement about why he doesn't need permission? Get outta here!
He has more than 2x as many turbines than is allowed for a temporary install. The article makes it abundantly clear that these things are illegal.
Musk doesn't have permission to do this, no matter what excuse he gives.
