Do you have any idea how ridiculous the above sounds?

GE doesn't "think", they "know" there is money to be made long term,
in the renewable energy business, which is why the major capitol
investment is being made to develop products for it.

Renewable energy products have an international market while major
appliances (ovens, stoves, refrigerators, etc) are limited to the
domestic market.

Maybe that is why major appliances are for sale.

Maybe they need the $'s to build more and bigger wind turbines.

Your quibbling over "think" vs "know" instead of addressing the point
being made tells me that you don't really have a viable
counterargument.

As for ovens, stoves, refrigerators, etc being limited to the domestic
market, are you saying that Americans are the only people who cook
food and store it in refrigerators? If so, you really need to talk to
your doctor about your medication.
