We need to keep one fact very much in the forefront of our thinking, the green energy solutions which GE is pushing with massive government subsidies are going to fail, GE knows that they are going to fail, GE wants want them to fail. The real money for GE will in the backup solutions when wind and solar fails or are inadequate and on-demand backup power or peek-power solutions are required. The only instant on-demand power solutions are hydro-electric generators and gas turbine electric generators. Given the hydro-electric is not available in many areas of the country and the greens want to rip down the dams where there are such facilities are available, gas turbine electric generators are the only viable backup solution when green power fails, Would anyone care to guess as to who the worlds largest manufacture of gas turbine electric generators is?

For extra credit, would anyone care to speculate as to which State has the largest green energy generation capacity and is also largest consumer of methane (i.e. natural gas) to run gas turbine electric generators. If you require another hint, the State will be bankrupt on July 1, 2009.

If Livingston & Penn are correct about current trends in Solar activity, I wonder how those of us living in the northern sections of the United States will be heating our homes by 2015 if natural gas is being used to backup green energy solutions.

I urge everyone to do what I do:

SHORT GE

GE has been dishonest with their shareholders about the prospects of wind energy, has blatantly put NBC in the tank for the Obama administration leaving anything resembling journalistic integrity or balanced reporting far behind, and they have blatantly pandered to the government for welfare payouts such as this. Well getting freebies is nice, but the market doesn’t play politics. What is the best market solution will survive, and what is not will fail. Corporate and investor failures are nothing more than a reflection of what side of the market you were on when judgement was handed down. Despite GEpositioning itself in every conceiveable way to be the beneficiary of Climate Change hooplah, nobody is buying either. In fact GE’s share price has dipped in the leadup to the recent energy bill despite their heavy bets on it, indicating that I’m not alone in my short position. With nobody buying up GE in the 11th hour, and with the the new Climate Bill sure to fail in the Senate (though it would be a worse disaster should it pass), it is clear that GE has painted itself into a corner while everyone is leaving the room with their backs turned.

Great job Jeff Immelt. You are on the verge of history. You are about to plunge one of Americas great companies into the depths of financial ruin the same way a crappy gambler loses the family home.
