The crazy thing is that these crazies will have to protest about everything AND everyone. They protested outside the offices of Axa Insurance because they insured oil based projects. By that definition they need to protest at Waitrose because some oil execs wife may shop there. Mercedes may have supplied a SUV to the execs daughter, Stationery companies supplying oil companies must be protested against. The cleaning company that cleans the offices of Shell/BP etc. Mr Patels Newsbox for selling a Snickers bar and 20 B&H to a petrol tank driver in Stanford-le-Hope.. The list is endless.

Well I do hope they were protesting whilst naked as everything they’d be wearing requires oil to produce! The Tesla factory is located in one of the driest regions of Germany, yes there are spruce forests but the ground is very sandy,
was coined "the german empire´s blotting sand box" by Frederick King of Prussia.
This factory taking out thousands of cubic metres of fresh water out of own wells was causing lots of discussions when planning was under way,
only with lots of extemptions from the rules the build was allowed ( and maybe there were backhanders to local officials involved ).
Now the factory wants to expand with a painting unit which would swallow anotherXXX cubic metres daily, and more trees felled,
this is what´s causing the protests, the area is often suffering from forest fires in dry summers.
There was a stop in production today, caused by the burning of the single power mast which supplies the factoty with electric power,
some anarcho-leftish "volcano" group was claiming fame, the "treehuggers" protesters mentioned above were distancing themselves from this action.
The "Fire Crew" Tesla seen in pic is from the "works firefighting unit", not operated by local aothorities.
