GE's Immelt Says [Lack of Climate Swindle Legislation] Holds Back Clean Energy Development - NYTimes.com

"It's just stupid what we have here today," said Jeffrey Immelt, who heads the largest U.S. new energy technology company, speaking to the GridWise Global Forum in Washington. "Energy is one of the places I worry about most," he added. "The rest of the world is moving 10 times faster than we are."

The United States will remain an underdog in clean energy competition unless Congress can get past its partisan deadlock and produce effective national energy policies, he said. In particular, the United States needs some kind of long-term price on carbon emissions and a national clean energy standard that does not exclude any fuel options -- including nuclear power, one of GE's key business areas, he said.

He praised the Obama administration for launching a range of meaningful smart grid and clean technology pilot programs with economic stimulus funds, and called Energy Secretary Steven Chu "incredibly entrepreneurial. ... The DOE before this administration had no capability" to support clean energy development, he said. "Zero."

Asked about GE's decision to close its last remaining factory making incandescent light bulbs, in Winchester, Va., he said, "It is tough to keep a product alive for 100 years."

In contrast, China is "green, green, green, green," he said.

The inevitable 10:10 remix « Hot Air

The irony here is that this remix by “Orwell’s Spectre” has essentially the same message as the original mini-film from 1010Global; it’s just made a little more clear in the remix. It uses the same disturbing imagery, although thankfully this time eschews the shot of Gillian Anderson’s eyeballs sliding down a gore-drenched window. In exchange for that hyperbole, the remix tosses in a rather incendiary endorsement of 1010Global’s mission at the end.
