If surface mud is getting into the guys well water he has more problems than Rivian moving in next door. Hopefully Rivian didn't miss an unsealed well on their property.

New Mexico would happily welcome Rivian as a future build site if Georgia doesn't want them. Lots and lots of open land and both North South and East West highways and train rails.

I am surprised Rivian is not looking for a path with less resistance. Nothing impacts a large project like having to negotiate the court systems.

Looks like there is something in the deal with a phase gate in May 2023, will be interesting to see what transpires in May. In the judgeā€˜s response he seems to feel that ultimately the project would prevail but if that is after 3 or 4 years of litigation seems like a huge risk to continue at this point.

To be fair, the State of Georgia seems all aboard as does the local government. The resistance is from a very small but vocal group of locals and that could easily be the case in any state where they wanted to operate.

Agree, his well would likely be contaminated with e. coli if surface water is getting in. So he shows a filter with sediment build up and claims it's from Rivian runoff? My well filters (and everyone for about 3 miles) look like that all the time due to underground clay in the aquifer. And guess what - it gets worse after prolonged heavy rain - because the aquifer is being naturally charged, not by runoff. So from experience, I have to question this guy's "proof".

ICE only :(
Every factory of this size built anywhere in the US is going to face some challenges from NIMBY-ism. Itā€™s just the way our system works, for better or worse. The judge here laid out pretty clearly that there isnā€™t any avenue for this lawsuit to win. The project isnā€™t going to be delayed by this at all. Itā€™s just a nuisance for the local and state attorneys to deal with.
