Redaktionsnetzwerk Deutschland has reported that some German environmental groups believe that Tesla's Giga Berlin is putting their drinking water at risk. The Green League and Naturschutzbund (Nabu) Brandenburg made an announcement claiming that important information
published an article about how the coal that powered the industrial revolution left behind an “absolutely massive” environmental catastrophe. The article included an interview with Emily Bernhard, a scientist at Duke University who is an ecosystem ecologist and biogeochemist. She’s been studying Appalachian strip mines and trying to understand the long-term impacts of coal for almost 20 years.
She also pointed out that blowing off the tops of mountains, which was done in the Appalachians, fundamentally alters the planet. The article also shared the horror story of a Kentucky landowner, Tracy Neece, who leased his land out to a coal mining company that ended up going bankrupt and leaving his land in a hazardous state. Neece said that at the time, it seemed like a good idea, and isn’t opposed to strip mining as long as the company is following the laws. Mining, he pointed out, fed many families and provided jobs.
“They knew what they were doing. They just wanted to make a million dollars, you know, take everything they could and go. They had no intention of putting it back.”

EPA moves to crack down on dangerous coal ash storage pondsThe Environmental Protection Agency is taking its first major action to address toxic wastewater from coal-burning power plants, ordering utilities to stop dumping waste into unlined storage ponds and speed up plans to close leaking or otherwise dangerous coal ash sites.
