The Brandenburg state environmental Agency was the early beginning of the trees felling, approved, the complete permit for the construction of the factory is. The environmental organization Green League of Brandenburg and the Association for the preservation of the landscape and protection of species in Bavaria had to stop grubbing on the site.

Tesla can
Work is now continuing, The court explained in its reasoning to the other tree cases, the statutory requirements for the early start of the construction of the plant had been answered in the affirmative to the right. The competent authority did not have to wait for the expiry of the deadline for objections in the context of public participation until March, because they have the necessary knowledge, in order to assess whether the project is expected to be approved.
“There will be further Attempts to stop Tesla”
the President of The German Institute for economic research, Marcel Fratzscher, predicted after the verdict: “There will be further Attempts to stop Tesla. In this country there is a mentality of preservation of the status quo, which argues against large-scale projects, against changes. The problems lie much deeper. This conflict of interests is now held on the back of Tesla. The damage for Germany in the long term,” said Fratzscher of the editors ‘ network Germany (RND).
There are “a great legal uncertainty for companies,” says Fratzscher. “The German regulations are not so comprehensive, complex, and often ambiguous, that investors know what is true for you.” The Problem for investors is the lack of predictability, so Fratzscher is: “If you don’t know whether the new factory in one and a half years, as Tesla is planning it now, or whether you need five years, then high risks for companies, which often lead to German businesses prefer to invest abroad.”
Economist: the Tesla factory is an incentive for German car manufacturers.
The Tesla-settlement in Brandenburg see Fratzscher as “advantageous for the German car industry”: “German industry was always at its best when you had to assert itself against international competition. If Tesla produced in Brandenburg, Germany, holds the German automotive companies, every day the mirror: See something, what you can’t yet. Make an effort and is catching up!“
press voices to the Protest against Tesla
The newspaper New commented on the verdict against the Green League: “there are quite a lot of things, not to speak out against Tesla: the fact that these cars are the appropriate solution to the environmental and traffic problems that the promised number of Jobs seems to be much too high, that dear old industry should broke be reactivated to seal new surfaces. Of the back of the Green League in the focus. Now you need to brush up on your previously impeccable Image.”
The “Badische Zeitung” wrote: “In this debate, the Eco’s activism, sometimes too far. In his view, self-wind turbines destroy nature, humanity is threatened with extinction and Tesla consumes so much water that Berlin is dying of thirst. You can recommend this to people only to disarm. To not threaten to have achieved democratic progress. Because of the economic associations, and citizen participation in the planning process restrict. Who skin on the drum, and the absoluteness can fall to claim on your feet.”
