Jeffery Immelt is the CEO of General Electric. At the recent Wall Street Journal ECOnomics conference in Goleta, CA, Immelt said he doesn’t understand critics of government tax credits for renewable energy. My guess is that Mr. Immelt does understand why the US does not offer tax credits for renewable energy sources, while at the same time offering subsidizes to the oil and gas industry. The answer is simple and I’ll bet dollars to donuts that Mr. Immelt voted for it, I mean him. GW Bush, i.e., Global Warming Bush and his ilk are tied so closely to the oil and gas industry that it would take a surgeon to separate them.Maybe the election in November will provide the US with a leader who will have the wisdom and the courage to steer the US, and the world, down a more sustainable path. At this point I don’t really care who is elected. Whoever it is almost has to be smarter, more courageous and not tied as closely to the oil and gas industry as Bush is. The world will be a better place when GW Bush is gone.
