Blackrock wants $4 trillion from your retirement accounts to build rusting windmills in third world jungles. Because tens of trillions in taxpayer dollars just aren’t doing it for the weather fairies. The money would come from a “blended finance” model where subsidies push companies to dump money into “renewables” in poor countries. Given their record, that would mean your 401k money isn’t actually trying to turn a profit, it’s taking one for the climate team.
