Tesla will build a new Megafactory in Texas near Houston, confirmed by the Waller County Commissioners Court through a tax abatement agreement worth $44 million for facility improvements and $150 million for manufacturing equipment.
The new facility will occupy a 1-million-square-foot building and is expected to create 1,500 jobs, enhancing local economic development.
Despite high clean energy production, Texas remains a significant carbon dioxide emitter, doubling emissions of any other state, which showcases the complexity of its energy transition.
