🇩🇪 Giga Berlin 1/X

Lots of confusion in the German & Int. media about the status of Giga Berlin after the Economy committee meeting in the Parliament in Brandenburg today

Minister Steinbach said a delay is not likely the media turns the stores around said '3 months delay'
Steinbach said

"If one were to come to the conclusion - and I say this very clearly in the subjunctive - that one should come to a quasi 3rd overall interpretation under immission control law, that would take about 3 months"

Remember he said "not likely"
The original video recording of the committee meeting is not online yet but I will listen to it once it is and inform with more details

Some risk factors remain and no one can exclude a delay but as of now all risk factors I hear about should be able to manage until July/August

Palmer Buck, fire chief for The Woodlands Township Fire Department

'Contrary to some reports in the media, the Tesla involved in the April 17 fire did not burn out of control for 4 hours'

The Fire department chief Buck continued

"Our guys got there and put down the fire within 2 to 3 minutes, enough to see the vehicle had occupants”

“After that, it was simply cooling the car as the batteries continued to have a chain reaction due to damage.”
Buck 🧑‍🚒🚒

“We could not tear it apart or move it around to get ‘final extinguishment’ because the fact that we had 2 bodies in there & it was then an investigation-slash-crime scene”

“We had to keep it cool, were on scene for 4 hours, but we were simply (...)

Wöllensteing Head of VW China when asked about the Uighurs genocide and their plant in Xinjiang

"We have made it clear that we must stand by our commitment to China as a whole, and we will stand by our commitment to Xinjiang as long as we believe it is economically feasible"

🤨
VWs Wöllenstein continued about Xinjiang

"A topic like forced labor, which is critically discussed, cannot exist at our company because we employ employees directly"

"The fact that it will also be critical of us at some point is certainly something we can't dismiss out of hand"
Unfortunately, VW has a long history of forced labor that started with the German concentration camps and continued with human rights violations in the 60s and 70s e.g. Argentina and other places of the world.
