Tesla's New York Gigafactory Kicks Off Solar Roof Production
I'm not a big fan of Elon Musk, but let's not get political.<p>I do however, want to point out Buffalo .. its troubles with Solar City .. and its troubles with Elon Musk.<p>Key (non-disputed / non-political points)<p>- Tesla did not hire local workers, and did not hold up on its end for diversity of work-force
- SolarCity received 750$ million in the Billion to Buffalo at a time it hadn't operated at a profit in over 2 years (I believe)
- Ciminelli, Buffalo's prior largest construction company that built SolarCity was charged with bid rigging / bribery by the Federal Government and it has all but folded up shop.
- Panasonic / Tesla agreement / partnership existed in 2006, yet Cuomo said he brokered this deal (fabrication)<p>The Riverbend site that SolarCity started has all but been successful in Erie County. That's my 2c, and the above is factual, non-disputed points.<p>So .. my real question, is why is this not brought to the national level for discussion to what Elon is doing to communities like Buffalo, where I live? That's my question ...
