上周,在一次不具约束力的投票中,特斯拉在德国唯一的欧洲组装厂附近的一个小镇的居民以压倒性多数拒绝了该公司提出的扩张计划。现在,环保活动人士正在德国同一棵松树周围的松树高处建立营地。他们的目标是阻止这家美国汽车制造商完成
420 英亩的扩建计划,以提高产量。
活动人士于周三晚上开始抵达柏林附近的森林,并在森林高处搭建了临时建筑。通过这样做,他们希望阻止汽车制造商的工作人员砍伐树木,同时让当局更难将它们驱逐出该地区。
据法新社报道,领导抗议活动的组织名为罗宾·伍德(Robin
Wood),并表示这是对工厂附近反对扩建的居民投票的回应。此外,他们还说该地区是指定的水源保护区。

“这里当地人的水被盗了。在汽车原材料的来源地,人们面临着剥削,”该活动组织发言人保罗·艾斯菲尔德 (Paul Eisfeld)
说。
该工厂长期以来一直与环保活动人士发生冲突,他们称该工厂威胁到了
当地的供水。近年来,该地区还遭受了夏季干旱,引发了人们
对特斯拉大量使用资源的担忧。
柏林附近占地 740 英亩的工厂生产 Model Y,自 2022
年起开始运营。据《当地人》报道,特斯拉现在希望砍伐周围的森林,建造货运站、仓库和公司幼儿园。然而,超过 60%
的居民投票反对允许这家美国汽车制造商扩建工厂。
虽然投票不具有法律约束力,但批准或拒绝扩建的决定将由格伦海德市议会做出,市长阿尔内·克里斯蒂安尼表示,当地代表不会反对公民的投票。

Activists Thwart Tesla’s German Gigafactory Expansion
Plans With Tree Houses
Climate activists to Tesla's plan to expand its Berlin plant, say
it puts locals' drinking water at risk

Last week, in a non-binding vote, residents of a town near Tesla’s
sole European assembly plant in Germany overwhelmingly rejected the
company’s proposed expansion plans. Now, environmental activists
are setting up camps high in the pine trees surrounding that same
plant in Germany. Their goal is to thwart the American automaker’s
efforts to complete the 420-acre expansion intended to boost
production.
The activists started arriving in the forest
near Berlin on
Wednesday night, and have set up temporary structures high up in
the forest’s trees. By doing so, they hope to prevent the
automaker’s crews from cutting the trees down, while making it
harder for authorities to expel them from the area.
The group leading
the protest is called
Robin Wood, and says it is responding to a non-binding vote from
residents near the plant who opposed the expansion, reports
AFP. In addition, they say that the area is a designated
water-protection site.

“Local people here are having their water stolen. And where the raw
materials for cars come from, people face exploitation,” Paul
Eisfeld, a spokesperson for the activist group, said.
The plant has long run afoul of environmental activists, who said
that it threatened the
local water supply. The region has also been hit with summer
droughts in recent years, leading to concerns
about Tesla’s heavy use
of resources.
The 740-acre plant near Berlin makes the Model Y, and has been
operational since 2022. Tesla now wants to clear forest surrounding
it to build a freight station, warehouses, and a company
kindergarten, reports
The Local. However, more than 60 percent of residents voted
against allowing the American automaker to expand the
facility.
While the vote is not legally binding, the decision to approve or
deny the expansion will be made by the Grunheide municipal council,
and Mayor Arne Christiani says that local representatives will not
oppose the vote of the citizens.
