Don't even wait for the drainage district to do it. What's Tesla going to do, sue you for blocking their illegal dumping?
Deregulated Red Run Oblast problems and the voters continue to support it. "Ain't shit gonna happen to the dirty neo-Nazi." Good luck with the lack of potable water situation you morons.
Don't hold the multi trillionaire accountable tho
Let's charge them a comically small fine, that'll teach them not to do it again!

This is what motherfickers do when there's no consequences for breaking the law
If our government isn't up to holding criminals responsible, then it needs to be replaced root to stem.

We towed it outside the environment
It's been towed beyond the environment, it's not in an environment... all there is out there is sea, birds, fish, and 20,000 tons of crude oil.
Why no photo?
Seems like a photo of a pipe dislodging black sludge next to a photo of a tesla factory in a news page would instill a better sense of "evil corporation" to me.

I did and expected to find an image in the article. See, had I posted this on lemmy, I'd have posted an article closer to the source, with the photos. I assumed others would do the same. I assume too much, sorry.
Yea I'd rather have something closer to the source as well but maybe they don't wanna give MSNBC the traffic as readily 🤷
Is there a reputable source for that or is autonocion some sort of reputable news outlet?
Texas Tribune is pretty reputable:

I couldn't find any analysis of autonotion, but they link to a local TV station's site KRIS TV which does have a decent reputation
Click the link. In the first paragraph it links to a kristv (msnbc?) article. Has photo and video in that article as well. Too many people here comment without reading...
