President Biden's climate envoy former Secretary of State John Kerry dismissed a question about whether he was concerned that a Chinese company in which he holds a million dollar stake is using slave labor to build solar panels, saying "that's not in my lane."
"Look, I don't know every detail about how the solar panels are made, but the fact that the product is solar panels puts it on the right side of the climate crisis," Kerry argued. "It's fossil fuels that are destroying the climate. Anything that can help avert this is worthy of pursuing regardless of the particular methods that are being employed to accomplish this. I would say that to the extent that costs are saved by employing forced labor the panels won't cost as much and that's a good thing because more people will be able to afford buying them and more investors like myself will be encouraged to buy more shares."

It takes slave labor to save the Earth!
Kerry is all for slave labor!
So he won’t make any $$ off his investment in Chinese solar panels? HAAAAHAHAHAHAA!!
They are trying to shame companies which profited from slave labor about two hundred years ago.
Why not ask Kerry to repay his profits to the current slaves for their labor. Now!
The Haughty John Kerry.
I would like to see this (true) add on TV
“Buy our solar cells!
Made in China using only slave labor in East Turkestan and only the dirtiest coal on Earth!”
Unreliable! Lots of hazardous waste!
I doubt that Kerry checked into how much pollution is involved in making the solar panels, either.
