Got solar? Love you some slave labor?


Recommended Posts

The investigation by Sheffield Hallam University (SHU) found that roughly 45 percent of polysilicon is obtained from Xinjiang province, including the world’s four biggest panel manufacturers relying on the Uyghur-produced compound.

The 69-page report bases its evidence on numerous sources documented in more than 300 endnotes, including official Chinese government figures outlining the “placement” of 2,600,000 “minoritized” citizens in jobs in farms and factories in Xinjiang. Among the firms identified as using forced labor are Daqo New Energy, GCL-Poly Energy, TBEA, and Jinko Solar.

“The downstream companies that are potentially affected by forced labor span the globe,” concludes lead author Laura T. Murphy, Professor of Human Rights and Contemporary Slavery at SHU’s Helena Kennedy Centre for International Justice.

Since when does a conservative/Republican care about slave labor???  As a Trump supporter twice I know I don’t cause my Solar is the gift that keeps on giving for free!

When you hit he lights, do you hear a small scream?

Nope.  We as Americans don’t care about anyone but ourselves...  I mean we will act like we do for politics and our Instagram pages but that is as far as our caring goes.

“Chinese labor is used in a product you bought.  How dare you!!!!”

“We need to lower unemployment compensation cause our businesses can’t find slave labor” 

says a Republican in 2021

why should we complain about places using child/slave labor.  Just because we feel it's wrong doesn't mean other countries have to.  Wasn't all that long ago we had kids working away in factories.  When they become a second or first world country maybe they will find that to be important to them maybe not.  Our selective outrage as to what other countries do to their citizens is ridiculous.
