The rationale: there is no meaningful offshore wind market to speak of – at least not yet.

Translation: There aren't enough subsidies to support it. Or, our misguided policies haven't made conventionally generated electricity expensive enough yet. Take your pick.

I guess GE is learning that their biggest boosters of wind energy like the late Walter Cronkite and Ted Kennedy went NIMBY and did not want it obstructing their pristine view of the of the bay from their homes in Cape Cod.Surely, they could find some ghetto to put those things.

Industry - given it’s own drives, designs IPADs and IPODs.

Government - given it’s own incompetence, designs CFLs.

And any (that’s as in ANY) science type worthy of the degree would have told government toads that wind and solar aren’t viable yet.

Perhaps later on when we get the government t*rds off our backs and we tech types can do some research and design...but not until.

Perhaps the Kennedys weighed in?

They are all thought up by liberals, what did you expect?
(rhetorical question, no response required)

Making oil from algae seems like it might be promising.

BUT, if E-Cat works out, we'll know next month, all other forms of energy will soon become obsolete.

Energy from nothin, heat & electricity for free.

GE, Al Gore, investing in Green ‘technology’ and no doubt others were planning on big rewards financially from EPA’s forced policing resulting in this ‘new’ big move to green manufacturing.

That is why Gore cannot give up the ghost. At least Immelt is beginning to see this crap is gonna be a loser for some years to come, and is starting to pull out, business wise.

Poor whiney Gore. Maybe he will have to sell his new California mansion.

If the government mandates that 20% of all power come from regenerative sources by XYZ date, if they tax the crap out of coal by taxing CO2 but give tax incentives to GE so large they pay zero corporate taxes in 2010, you can build a lot of wind turbines, solar farms... whatever. But it's all a lie where someone else is paying for it. That's the problem and that's even why some of these geeen firms are going broke that essentially bet on Cap and Trade going through. they were betting on the consumer and power companies being forced by a government hand to essentially purchase their over priced junk.

Green energy is a leach. It exists at the expense to the citizen and the economy.

tell that to the already dead endangered species that know wind-power first hand.. I’m sure they’ll be relieved to hear it.

Hmm. GE CEO Jeff Immelt is Obama's butt-boy. Looks like he knows something the rest of the green weenies don't.
