Caribbean Energy Security Initiative under the direction of Joe Biden

1-20-2020  “Frank Biden did not have any background in solar energy, but it was quite clear who he was when he pitched the project to investors,” Schweizer writes.  “His brother Joe’s name figured prominently in his biography.”
In October 2016, the Costa Rican government signed a letter of intent with Sun Fund Americas to build a solar power facility in the country.  The project, which involved a company called GoSolar, specifically earmarked more than $6.5 million in taxpayer-backed loans that had been approved in 2015 by the Obama administration’s Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC).
Having found Costa Rica fertile ground, Frank next turned his attention to other parts of the Caribbean, like Jamaica.  Once again Frank’s business pivot coincided with a new development in brother’s political career.
The Obama administration had announced in June 2014 it was launching the Caribbean Energy Security Initiative (CESI) under the direction of Joe Biden.  Officially the program was meant to support energy sustainability projects in the region, with American tax dollars helping put together deals for local projects.  https://www.breitbart.com/2020-election/2020/01/20/joe-bidens-brother-frank-linked-to-projects-receiving-54000000-in-taxpayer-loans-from-the-obama-administration-despite-no-experience/

  When Joe Biden became Veep his brother Frank Biden (shown) used his DC ties to help secure a series of contracts from Florida officials for a fledgling charter school venture he was asked to lead, ABC News reported.  As a result he earned hundreds of thousands of dollars from the company over a five-year period, according to the report.
In media interviews at the time, Frank Biden described his last name as “a tremendous asset” because of the family’s record of “taking care of people who need help.”  https://nypost.com/2020/01/17/frank-bidens-long-history-of-using-his-family-name-to-secure-contracts-in-florida/
