Anders Corr, principal at the New York-based political consultancy firm Corr Analytics, questioned the communist regime’s sincerity in its carbon emission promises in his analysis for The Epoch Times on Nov. 1.

“But even if the regime in Beijing promises the world, it will be next to meaningless without immediate and verifiable achievements in meeting short-term milestones,” Corr wrote, pointing to how Beijing broke its promise to safeguard Hong Kong’s autonomy under the 1984 Sino–British Joint Declaration.

“So until China democratizes or definitively limits its emissions, the world’s more responsible nations should impose economic sanctions on China in the form of coordinated climate tariffs.”

Rubio and Colleagues Demand Answers from DFC on Whether Taxpayer Money is Buying Solar Panels Tainted with Forced Labor
https://www.rubio.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/press-releases?id=E6762115-790A-42E5-AED1-EE6854475E5B
NOVEMBER 4, 2021


Washington, D.C. — U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) was joined by Senators Thom Tillis (R-NC), Rick Scott (R-FL), Marsha Blackburn (R-TN), Ben Sasse (R-NE), and Jerry Moran (R-KS) in sending a letter to Acting Chief Executive Officer of the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation (DFC) Dev Jagadesan asking whether the (DFC) is unwittingly aiding the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) export of solar panels tainted with the forced labor of Uyghurs and other predominantly Muslim ethnic groups in Xinjiang.

“Ensuring that the United States is not complicit in enabling genocide and forced labor is a key priority for Congress,” the senators wrote. “That is why the Senate unanimously passed the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act in July and why the House of Representatives overwhelmingly passed a companion bill last year.”

“In September, DFC notified Congress of its intent to provide up to $90 million to Avaada Sunrays Energy Private Limited to support the development of a new solar plant in India, along with $20 million to Orb Energy Private Limited, also in India, for the “development and construction of solar photovoltaic systems,” the senators continued. “We are concerned that the provision of up to $110 million in American taxpayer money could be used to purchase products made with slave labor.”

NOVEMBER 3, 2021


Dear Mr. Jagadesan:
We write to inquire about existing plans of, or the potential for, the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation (DFC) to unwittingly aid the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) export of solar panels tainted with forced labor.

As you know, the People’s Republic of China (PRC) produces more than 80 percent of the world's solar-grade polysilicon, much of it coming from the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (XUAR), where the CCP has detained around 1.8 million Uyghurs and other individuals from predominantly Muslim ethnic groups. These groups have been arbitrarily detained in a system of extrajudicial mass internment camps where they are subjected to forced labor, torture, forced abortions, forced sterilizations, and political indoctrination designed to compel them to renounce key tenets of Islam. The Biden Administration has publically declared that the CCP’s actions constitute genocide and crimes against humanity.

Ensuring that the United States is not complicit in enabling genocide and forced labor is a key priority for Congress. That is why the Senate unanimously passed the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act in July and why the House of Representatives overwhelmingly passed a companion bill last year. Given that a key pillar of the administration’s efforts to address climate change is to encourage the use of solar panels, the PRC’s dominance of the solar industry raises the question of how the Administration intends to meet its climate change goals without supporting the CCP’s ongoing human rights abuses.

In September, DFC notified Congress of its intent to provide up to $90 million to Avaada Sunrays Energy Private Limited to support the development of a new solar plant in India, along with $20 million to Orb Energy Private Limited, also in India, for the “development and construction of solar photovoltaic systems.” We are concerned that the provision of up to $110 million in American taxpayer money could be used to purchase products made with slave labor. As you know, the Tariff Act of 1930 prohibits the importation of products mined, produced or manufactured wholly or in part by forced labor. We firmly believe that this prohibition should also apply to the development spending and financing provided by the United States to companies overseas.

Because taxpayer money should never be used to purchase products made with the use of forced labor and DFC plays an essential role to meeting this goal, we request answers to the following questions:

 How is the DFC ensuring that the companies whose solar photovoltaic (PV) projects are financed with taxpayers' money are not sourcing supply chain inputs, including silicon metal and polysilicon from the XUAR or elsewhere in the PRC where forced labor may occur?

 What kind of due diligence requirements is the DFC putting in place to ensure that these companies are not purchasing solar panels and/or polysilicon from Chinese companies that are on the United States sanctions list or the Entity List, or subject to Withhold Release Orders for their use of forced labor and other human rights violations?

 Has the DFC asked these companies to disclose their suppliers in the supply chain? Do any of their suppliers have ties to any entities in the XUAR?

 If these companies are not producing their solar panels themselves, where are they purchasing their solar panels? Do their suppliers include Chinese companies that are on the United States sanctions list, or the Entity List, or subject to Withhold Release Orders for their use of forced labor and other human rights violations? Have their suppliers ever had their shipments withheld by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection pursuant to a withhold release order?

 In financing solar PV projects overseas, what kind of steps is the DFC taking to find out whether it is unintentionally financing projects in which forced labor is used in the supply chain, which would go against the DFC requirements that its projects uphold the International

Finance Corporation Performance Standards banning the use of forced labor and the Section 307 of the Tariff Act of 1930, which prohibits importing any product that was mined, produced, or manufactured wholly or in part by forced labor?

Thank you for your attention to this matter. We look forward to your prompt reply.

Eneste som mangler nå er at Manchin kommenterer offentlig at han nå har fått sett mer av detaljene og føler seg mer bekvem med å kunne stemme.

"We have to stop playing these games! We have to cooperate to get this done!"

Da hadde sirkelen vært komplett.

Så er der afklaring på dette (:

TSMC says it did not release any detailed customer data in response to US request
https://www.reuters.com/technology/taiwans-tsmc-says-it-has-responded-us-chip-data-request-2021-11-08/
NOVEMBER 8, 2021

..
TSMC, a major Apple Inc (AAPL.O) supplier, said it had responded to the U.S. request to help address the semiconductor shortage that has disrupted production for car makers and consumer electronics suppliers.

TSMC said it remained "committed to protecting our customers' confidentiality as always, ensuring no customer-specific information is disclosed in the response".

It did not give any further detail.

U.S. Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo in September said the request for information was aimed at boosting supply chain transparency. She warned if companies did not answer the call "then we have other tools in our tool box that require them to give us data".

Tech powerhouse Taiwan has said it was doing all it could to resolve the chip shortage. TSMC has pledged to spend $100 billion over the next three years to expand chip capacity.

Taiwan's government said it respects U.S. commercial law but that it would back domestic firms if they receive any "unreasonable requests".

https://www.commerce.gov/news/press-releases/2021/11/us-secretary-commerce-gina-raimondo-announces-first-travel-asia
NOVEMBER 7, 2021


Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo will make her first official visit to Asia from Nov. 15-18, where she will meet with government officials and business leaders in Japan, Singapore and Malaysia.

Secretary Raimondo will visit the Indo-Pacific region to reaffirm our commitment and strengthen our economic relationship with allies and key partners. Her trip comes on the heels of President Biden’s announcement on developing an economic framework that will define our shared objectives with partners in the region. Secretary Raimondo will meet with government leaders and private sector partners to discuss key areas such as supply chain resilience, digital economy and technology, common standards, and supporting regional infrastructure projects.

“Rebuilding alliances with our like-minded partners is an essential part of our work to strengthen America’s global competitiveness,” said Raimondo. “President Biden has shown tremendous vision and leadership in his effort to jumpstart a regional economic framework, and I welcome the opportunity to partner with allies. On a range of issues—from supply chain resilience and semiconductors to cooperation on the digital economy and developing infrastructure—America’s economy is strongest when we lead by example and work with our allies.”

Raimondo’s itinerary is as follows:

November 15: Tokyo, Japan
November 16-17: Singapore
November 18: Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

In each of her engagements, Secretary Raimondo will highlight areas that represent important and new business opportunities for U.S. firms and workers in one of the most economically dynamic regions in the world.

More details on the trip will be announced as they are finalized.

We believe that SEMA could enable as much as 30 gigawatts of annual domestic solar panel production by 2025, creating the self-sufficiencies needed to achieve net-zero by 2050. It may take a bit longer to completely separate the U.S. solar supply chain from China, but we have to start now.

@manman01

Jeg setter veldig stor pris på din delevilje. Denne tråd synes jeg er en av de mest interressante her på forumet - nettopp på grunn av dine delinger.

Mange takk skal du ha!!

Dette er gull verd for sånne som meg, som ønsker adgang til et akkumulert overblikk i aksjen, fordi vi kanskje ikke har tid eller evner eller orker eller sover eller av en eller annen grunn ikke kan dykke for dypt i egen research.

Jeg leser alt du poster, synes det er veldig informativt det bidrar kraftig til min forståelse av min egen investering.

"To clarify for everyone: the agreement we made w/our colleagues was NOT for CBO score. It was for some additional financial information from CBO. Agreement also says that in no event would the vote take place later than the week of Nov. 15. We trust our colleagues’ commitments,” Congressional Progressive Caucus Chairwoman Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.) tweeted.

Freight delays hit solar module supply
https://www.argusmedia.com/en/news/2273908-freight-delays-hit-solar-module-supply
NOVEMBER 15, 2021
"..
"[With] the coming traditional peak season of shipping before Christmas, coupled with booking difficulties, serious port congestion, [and the] unstable shipping schedule, the global sea shipping situation is becoming more tense together with continuously increased shipping prices," solar module manufacturer Amerisolar said recently. Solar module buyers, investors and distributors have sought to sign contracts since August to lock in module prices and secure shipping slots, the company said, adding that it has "taken very aggressive measures to control the manufacturing cost" since August.

With China accounting for around 70pc of global solar module manufacturing capacity, the restrictions on energy consumption have further exacerbated the supply and demand imbalance on the market, particularly as the disruptions have also affected supply of silicon metal and polysilicon.

Many Chinese manufacturers have prioritised supplying modules to the local market where state-owned enterprises are the major investors in utility-scale solar projects, Widmar said.
