Fluorescent green sodium hydroxide liquid, leaked from Tesla's Palo Alto headquarters, flows along a street gutter. The chemical, which is used as coolant for Tesla's "AI supercomputer," eventually ran into Matadero Creek. Fire officials say more than 500 gallons were recovered, as cleanup efforts continue into next week.

Tesla doesn't have a permit to store the chemical, and "could be fined."

@ampersine Apple does this shit too. The EPA basically doesn't exist anymore. The only thing that can stop this is arming environmentalists, IMO.

@Linza @ampersine to be fair, maybe the EPA never “existed” for tech enforcement.

The old Commodore/MOS plant in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania is a disaster, the rate of birth defects around IBM’s old plant in Poughkeepsie is incredibly high, and Silicon Valley is littered with superfund sites.

Tech externalizes all the costs and then the tax payers do our best to clean it up. It’s a long tradition to support the great “innovators” who get rich off of destruction.
