GE’s Immelt Pushing “Cap and Trade”
2009 May 30
Caution: Jeffrey Immelt is so sleazy, you may need a shower after reading this.
Obviously, ”cap and trade” will help Immelt get GE out of the hole he has dug his company into. At taxpayer expense.
Need an appliance? Buy Whirlpool, Maytag, LG, Frigidaire, Tappan, Amana. Anything but GE or Hotpoint.

The whole GE ecoimagination makes me feel slimy. It is also an apt moniker. It is IMAGINATION if one thinks that ECO tech will dig this country out of its energy hole.

Oh and the header for the piece should be ‘cap and tax’ because that is what this is.
[3]
well, we are about to spend a trillion worthless banknotes on it to find out. Not that the result will matter when we do.

It’s shameful the way Immelt has used NBC to curry favor for himself and GE with the Obama Administration.
To paraphrise JFK, “Today we are all CrOOK County residents.”

Immelt would do ANYTHING for a profit…America be damned. Sell to Iran, distort the news…anything!
in the movie “Aliens”, Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) has just discovered that Burke (Paul Reiser) has been letting people die and/or trying to kill them, in order to profit from having a live Alien! Her line to Burke is priceless…and describes Immelt perfectly:
Ripley:
You know, Burke, I don’t know which species is worse. You don’t see them fucking each other over for a goddamn percentage.

okay…TOTALLY and UTTERLY off-topic…okay?
HUGE HatTip to Hotair for the funniest thing I have seen in a VERY long time. I have been LOL for the last 5 1/2 minutes! Enjoy! (p.s. hard to believe this is just a re-mix of the original music video…but it is!)
