Clinton, 500 Million Solar Panels, 92 cents per hour prison labor and Goldman Sachs

[Skwmom]

The 500 MILLION SOLAR PANELS.

Hillary will: ... Set national goals to have 500 million solar panels installed; generate enough renewable energy to power every home in America; cut energy waste in homes, schools, and hospitals by a third; and reduce American oil consumption by a third.

THE 92 CENTS PER HOUR PRISON LABOR

Suniva was founded in 2007 by solar scientists from the Georgia Institute of Technology, and it has grown rapidly. While the private company doesn't disclose its financials, a federal contract from 2014 said Suniva had $93 million in annual revenue.

The average wage for inmate workers in the Unicor programs is 92 cents an hour, though employers pay a significantly higher amount to Unicor for overhead and other costs. Inmates responsible for court-ordered fines, victim restitution or child support payments are required to use half their earnings to meet those financial obligations.

Suniva would not give any details on its financial arrangement with Unicor, citing government restrictions on the disclosure of contract terms. Unicor also declined to offer details on how individual contract manufacturing agreements are structured.

(HMMM. WONDER HOW MUCH PROFIT UNICOR MAKES OFF OF THE PRISON WORKERS? )

AND GOLDMAN SACHS

Suniva has raised more than $200 million from investors including Goldman Sachs, venture capital firms New Enterprise Associates and Prelude Ventures and private equity firms H.I.G. Ventures and Warburg Pincus. It has also received $6.8 million in Department of Energy grants.

Goldman Sachs would not comment on its investment in Suniva.

(BOY THAT GOLDMAN SACHS SURE KNOWS HOW TO TURN A PROFIT).

1. Soooooo when Sanders doesnt get the nomination

you go ahead and vote for the Donald, im sure he will keep our interests as democrats in the front of his mind.

[Skwmom]

2. So are you for or against 92 cents per hour prison labor? n/t

[Scuba]

4. Yeah our only choices are between using prison slave labor and having Donald Trump president.

You run with that.

7. The People are getting fed up with this type of coercion and it will backfire on you

as it did in 2000. We support the People while you support Goldman-Clinton-Sachs.

10. Well when it comes to slavery or fascism

I will probably get my fat ass out of the damn country!

3. K & R

5. Might explain why Debbie Wasserman Schultz wants to keep sending medical marijuana users to prison.

[Skwmom]

6. Cheap labor for the corporations. n/t

8. My signature line applies.

9. That's what the prison labor is all about. Slave labor. It also has the added bonus of

being funded by tax dollars (so an endless cash stream) AND keeping black people from having civil rights.

It's a win-win for oligarchs.

[Skwmom]

11. It's the new form of slavery. n/t

[valerief]

12. Exactly. I don't know why people refuse to believe this. nt
