Looks like the Boring Company's Las Vegas tunnels are going about as well as you'd expect from an Elon project...
"The muck pooling in the tunnel at the north end of the Las Vegas Strip had the consistency of a milkshake and, in some places, sat at least two feet deep. ... At first, it merely felt damp. But in addition to the water, sand and silt—the natural byproducts of any dig—the workers understood that it was full of chemicals known as accelerants.
"The accelerants cure the grout that seals the tunnel’s concrete supports, helping the grout set properly and protecting the work against cracks and other deterioration. They also seriously burn exposed human skin. At the Encore dig site, such burns became almost routine, workers there told Nevada’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration. An investigation by the state OSHA, which Bloomberg Businessweek has obtained via a freedom of information request, describes workers being scarred permanently on their arms and legs. According to the investigation, at least one employee took a direct hit to the face. In an interview with Businessweek, one of the tunnel workers recalls the feeling of exposure to the chemicals: “You’d be like, ‘Why am I on fire?’”"
@sabbeljan Cool Berlin wird endlich zum Disneyland. Für so was ham se Geld. Aber für sinnvoller Projekte nicht. Das ist doch einfach Sabotage von Autofetischisten am ÖPNV.
@zukunftmobil Wenn der Akku alle ist kippt das Ding dann samt Insassen einfach um, am besten noch aufs Nachbar Gleis und blockiert alle anderen? #GadgetBahn
Klimaaktivist:innen lassen in der Kieler Innenstadt Luft aus Autoreifen und die #CDU sieht eine Mitschuld von grün-rot weil … ja richtig … sie die Mobilitätswende vorantreiben. Dass allgemein Frust darüber herrscht, dass nicht genug #Klimaschutz betrieben wird, wird einfach völlig ausgeklammert. Hauptsache weiter Populismus betreiben und die Stimmung anheizen. Das ist keine sachgerechte Politik.
