As if it weren't bad enough that SpaceX now has its own company town, the Elon Musk-owned company is almost immediately trying to mess with its residents' property rights.

Modvion towers are built from laminated wood, where the wood itself stores carbon. In fact a wooden tower stores more carbon than it emits during production, transport and installation, making the tower carbon negative. Conventional towers are responsible for the biggest share of CO 2 emissions in a wind turbine due to the use of materials like steel and concrete, that are responsible for approximately 15% of global CO2 emissions*. Simply by switching the tower you can reduce emissions for the e

The “company town” is largely an artifact of a bygone era—a vestige of an unhappy time in American history when wealthy land barons controlled society, and labor rights, at least as we know them today, did not yet exist.
