Tesla Woes Coming

N-TV did a brief business update today over Tesla's new factor going up in the area southeast of Berlin.  It's worth a read.  About every other month, I talk  about the Tesla project and where things are going. 

So here's the thing....all this effort to get the permits done, and start construction.....there's this issue about water.

At this point, Tesla hasn't applied to the local water supply for a permit.

They say they need 1.4 million cubic meters per year, to run the plant.

The water association manager for the local area?  He says as of last week....no applications have been done, and he doesn't see how there is sufficient water in the local area to handle the factory requirements at the present time. In simple terms....even if they applied to be connected to 'city-water'....it's not enough there.

Someone in the process intentionally screwing up?  You just look at this and think....there has to be a project manager who does the overview of everything, and one single planer in charge of water requirements and applications.  Could this one guy be this stupid....allowing the project to reach this level, and admit later.....there never was enough water to handle the Tesla plant?

The location poorly picked?  You kinda wonder about this, and you'd think that water concerns would be one of the top ten things in picking the plant location. 

Some emergency meeting coming up tomorrow to discuss this, and the necessity of a application?  I would imagine the big project manager is calling up the water-planner and finding some reaction-commentary to be questionable.
