I all makes perfect sense from the Obama perspective... an alliance with GE about government investment in energy and health care costs...  

It is a brave move by GE..pushing so hard for a transition from the military-industrial complex to the energy complex with GE at the top.

What is important here is that they did nt trust McCaint o deliver on their promises.. they must view as the typical military-industrial guy...GE bets that bama gets out of Iraq and stabilizes the military budget...and increases heavily the energy investment.

I hope GE is right.

A pleasure

I therefore claim to show, not how men think in myths, but how myths operate in men's minds without their being aware of the fact. Levi-Strauss, Claude

Face it, GE is not an engineering company anymore, it's a financial services company.

Peak oil is not an energy crisis. It is a liquid fuel crisis.
