This should immediately end any consideration, they should be fined per tree, and barred from all construction for 5 years.

@energisch_ @petrillic Have a look at our current, right-wing government that cuts the income of municipalities, and then the impoverished municipality's elected representatives (in Kajaani, mostly agrarian centre+far right: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kajaani) go for anything that might give them quick cash.

Plus the agrarian centre party has always had a strong disdain for protecting the forests. So yeah. Neoliberalism and general "we can do whatever we please" going on.

[energisch_@troet.cafe]

@carto @petrillic This 'neoliberal' attitude will destroy our planet's life. Including ours.

@petrillic Prison would be better, one year per tree.

@petrillic

They should be ordered to replant the same volume of trees cleared. Not the same amount. Same Volume.

[lispi314@udongein.xyz]

@petrillic I think the ban should be the duration that kind of tree usually takes to mature, rather than just 5 years.

[assimilateborg@kind.social]

@petrillic 1 cent for the first tree, doubling at each tree destroyed. You know where that's going

@petrillic @PapyrusBrigade @cdarwin …or until the trees grow back and the forest is restored.

@petrillic

Military occupation of the land, seize eveything, every last contractor and sub. All gear forfeited. A lesson for next time.

These fucking corporations need to be put under control.

@petrillic I'm just surprised they're not clearing it for pickleball courts.

@petrillic It seems to me the old "Do no evil" mantra has been replaced with "Do evil".

[kittson@social.vivaldi.net]

@petrillic So who owned the forest? Did Google lawfully come into possession of the forest? Was the previous owner fairly paid? If the answer is yes than Google should be able to do what they want with their own property.

@petrillic The execs who made the decision should be charged and stand trial on criminal charges.

@petrillic

They don't have enough transformers for datacenters. (and other technical stuff)
Even if they would have, they don't have enough electricity for all the GPUs.

When the bubble burst, we will be left with devastated planet(that's not that great to start with even now), lot of empty datacenters and cheap GPUs.🤬

[asterisk@social.linux.pizza]

@petrillic well technically it was the *contractor* who jumped the gun, not *Google*... (/s)

[petrillic@hachyderm.io]

@asterisk we really need to change our legal framework so that the contracting organization is fully responsible for activities of the contractor. It’s been used as a “oops not my fault” bullshit excuse for no oversight for too long.
