    Similar story with Tesla’s Berlin factory. Musk even said look look everywhere is water hurr durr. Politicians folded like teen girl fans meeting their kpop idol. Fast forward factory operates and household’s waterconsumption in the far area is rationed. Turns out you cant take just all the water you see without damaging the ecology.

        Ask the Colorado river how that works out. So much is piped out that the river no longer makes it to the ocean. It just peters out into a dry river bed dozens of miles from the shore nowadays.
