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.I do however, want to point out Buffalo .. its troubles with Solar City .. and its troubles with Elon Musk.Key (non-disputed / non-political points)- 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)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.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 ...
