This is a company owned by the same guy whose other company is dumping huge amounts of pollution into the air around Memphis, TN. And when asked they basically said “no we aren’t.”

Something tells me it’s not NIMBYism.

It's not like it's new - the Fremont Tesla plant has a long list of violations, including illegal dumping of toxic waste.

why not both?

it's exactly NIMBYism which makes the installation of the very small inefficient gas turbines make economic sense.

because it would take too fucking long to get a transmission wire set up to the grid, not to mention about the fight required for starting a new power plant somewhere else.

(that said I think it's unethical to run those turbines there)
