*******************************************************

December 2011: “......At the White House event today, the labor movement committed to work to invest $150 million in energy-efficient retrofit projects in the coming months.

President Obama announced that nearly $4 billion of investments have been committed already, including $2 billion by workers’ pension funds, CEOs, mayors and university presidents for energy-saving upgrades. This builds on 14 private sector commitments announced at the Clinton Global Initiative conference in June, including the labor movement’s aim to invest $10 billion in pension fund assets in job-creating infrastructure projects over the next five years.

“The Better Buildings initiative has all the right components to make a real difference—it will create profitable investment opportunities for worker pension funds, create badly needed good jobs, increase America’s competitiveness around energy savings, and address the dangers of climate change,” said AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka.

“This is about smart investments in America’s future,” AFT President Randi Weingarten said at the White House event. “The initiative is a win-win-win. It puts skilled laborers back to work on projects that will cut energy bills and pollution, reduce our dependency on foreign oil and create tens of thousands of new jobs. It’s exactly what America needs now to strengthen our economy.” The Building and Construction Trades Department of the AFL-CIO said the initiative will have a profound impact on the U.S. construction industry, which is suffering a 14 percent unemployment rate nationwide, by providing apprenticeships and jobs.

“It will create much-needed pathways for Americans to gain access to job and career training while making great strides to address our critical energy and environmental challenges,” said Mark H. Ayers, president of the Building and Construction Trades Department.

The AFT has been retrofitting its headquarters building in Washington, D.C., to become LEED Silver certified, and the AFL-CIO has committed to a Better Buildings Challenge retrofit of its headquarters, expected to reduce energy consumption by 20 percent.

“We not only are asking others to commit to energy-saving retrofits, but we’re also doing it ourselves,” Weingarten said.

Over the past year, the AFL-CIO, AFT and BCTD have been working with a broad coalition of pension funds, money managers, public officials and employers to focus investment in our nation’s infrastructure projects, with a particular emphasis on energy-efficient retrofits.

The AFL-CIO has exceeded its initial Clinton Global Initiative commitment of working with existing real estate-focused investment funds to invest between $10 million and $20 million of additional capital in energy-efficient retrofits of commercial, industrial, institutional and public buildings over the next six months. — AFL-CIO, AFT and BCTD Laud $4 Billion Commitment to Presidential ‘Better Buildings Challenge’ Initiative [Dec - 2011]

Lockbox ?

[dead]

she plans as president to create a “national infrastructure bank” modeled on the Clinton Global Initiative

WTF?!?! Do my eyes deceive me, or did Hillary just say something undeniably truthful?

[Buckeye McFrog]

so the Arkansas Mob will be able to take a cut of everything that gets built in this country.

[Pearls Before Swine]

Its acronym will be GSF, for Global Slush Fund.

[Rebel_Ace]

I wouldn’t let a Clinton even be the “banker” for a game of Monopoly...

[subterfuge]

How does one”do energy efficiency”?

[Slyfox]

Is anyone else pretty much worn out with Hillary like I am?

[Ben Ficklin]

Most states have infrastructure banks(SIBs). Its a way to get projects built faster.

Texas State Infrastructure Bank

The senate tried in 2007 to create a NIB and the House tried in 2008, but those were tied to the Bush stimulus, but Bush rejected any infrastructure spending in his stimulus.

[John S Mosby]

The original model for this “infrastructure” slush fund bank, goes ALL the way back to Arkansas and the mob of thugs at the trough of the Arkansas Development Finance Authority (ADFA) established in 1985. With Hitlery working at the Rose Law firm to represent Madison Guaranty Bank before the state’s securities commission.

The timeline, and graphic of the interlocking parts of the Clintonocracy that was Arkansas are a great save and reminder read— albeit quite tiring. She is using the same modus operandi— this greedy old hag biotch:
