Despite SpaceX and Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s focus on electric vehicles, the uncomfortable fact remains that rockets are powered by fossil fuels. Now, SpaceX is embroiled in a legal battle over the right to drill for natural gas in reserves close to the company’s launch facility in Boca Chica, Texas, according to Bloomberg.

An attorney representing Lone Star Mineral Development LLC, a SpaceX subsidiary spun up in the summer of 2020, appeared before the Railroad Commission of Texas on Friday to discuss plans to extract natural gas from the La Pita oil and gas site.
