Many tax subsidized foreign private venture solar and wind power projects are in the making. Before leaving office President Obama signed on with the UN Climate agreements and pledged $200Billion American tax dollars.
Wall street and Global investors and investment funds are pledging $20TRILLION. The catch is all the nations in the Climate Agreement must sign on and agree to #CarbonTaxCredits and Carboncredit purchases.

How many solar and wind projects subsidized by our government have failed ? Is this where you want your pension money invested - in foreign mostly poor nations - solar and wind farm deals ?

NYS workers pension funds head over seas to help pay for foriegn power/electric private venture deals in 2020.
-- Gov. Cuomo and his friend State Comptroller DiNapoli pledge to steer billions of retirement investment dollars into over seas investments.

As the state’s top financial official, DiNapoli oversees the state’s massive pension fund investments, including a $10 billion sustainable investment program, which focuses on environmentally friendly companies and technologies.

DiNapoli says that while the U.S. may have pulled out of the Paris agreement to reduce carbon emissions, New York state remains committed to the climate deal and that smart investments not only help the planet but also protect the state’s finances.

KATOWICE, Poland (Reuters) – United Nations’ climate talks to agree on the rules of the 2015 Paris Agreement became deadlocked late on Saturday over the monitoring of carbon credits to reduce emissions, in marathon negotiations which have already overrun.

Although a text of the package of rules has been published which shows many points have been settled, a stand-off continues over the accounting rules for future #carbonPermitSchemes.

This has repeatedly delayed the closing plenary, when sparks could fly if there are issues still stoking opposition.

A senior negotiator said Brazil had concerns about some of the rules for governing #internationalCarbonCreditSchemes.

Rich nations often reduce their emissions by paying for carbon-cutting projects in other countries. But these programs are not often transparent and hard to monitor.

One risk is the double counting of emissions reductions, when they are included by both the host country and the purchasing country, which could ruin the integrity of the Paris Agreement. This is why a solid set of accounting rules is needed.

Brazil has said it opposes double counting but has issues around aspects of buying of permits from a central registry and the subsequent selling.
