What are they supposed to do? The local grid is ill equipped for industrial power requirements, and they need to desalinate huge amounts of water for their sound suppression system. You can't launch rockets in densely populated areas, where power might be more plentiful. Its not great, but making humans an interplanetary species is more important, especially considering that we are already de-carbonizing cars, partly thanks due to Tesla. The German NGOs are mostly being unreasonable. What they defend is a not an organic forrest, but basically an artificial wood factory with hardly any environmental value. Water consumption is apparently another issue, but its not like you use it and then its gone forever - its being cleaned.
