That could be bad, this would set that project back a couple of years if they need to find a new site and package.

Jeez.. most states throw out crazy incentives for these plants and Georgia is blocking it? Time for Rivian to go somewhere they’d be appreciated.
There were reasons why Georgia was chosen as ideal (for many in the auto industry) before considering the incentives.
I wonder what politicking is behind this nonsense.
Pandering to nimby activists or fossil lobbyist skulduggery … ?

Just imagine the mental state, the cognitive dissonance of the judge willing to say out loud "We're too smart to be tricked into this whole EV fad. Some flimflam man comes into town on the back of a wagon and promises jobs and commerce, says he has $17B and has already built one factory that's operational with the Amazon river as his biggest customer … pfft! "

This will still happen. Even Georgia isn’t dumb enough to screw this up at this point.

Very typical Georgia. I wonder which car dealership Brenda Trammell owns a part of :rolleyes:?

Disclsimer: not a lawyer. Why is this Superior Court Judge of middle of nowhere Georgia qualified to decide if Rivian is a viable long-term company??? She wrote this played strongly into her decision. If this was Ford, I guarantee she would have approved the bonds.

You never know, they are also challenging the zoning change.

That is pretty common in any of these situations where unhappy neighbors are trying to stop a project. Most of the time the challenges fail in the end If the project is important to the area’s economy. But anything is possible. It IS Georgia!

The best Simpsons ever. Conan O’Brien killed it with this one.

The corollary to that is Peter Griffin’s rendition of “Shipoopi”.
