Jeff Immelt, the man who’s done more for the green movement than any other CEO in America, has now had a change of heart. At least that’s what he’d have you believe.
Reuters has the story of Immelt’s supposed conversion from the religion of the Goddess Gaia:
“If I had one thing to do over again I would not have talked so much about green,” Immelt said at an event sponsored by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. “Even though I believe in global warming and I believe in the science … it just took on a connotation that was too elitist; it was too precious and it let opponents think that if you had a green initiative, you didn’t care about jobs. I’m a businessman. That’s all I care about, is jobs.”
Here’s our bottom line:
When Immelt stops taking boatloads of federal dollars, when he stands up against those stupid twisty light bulbs, when he puts out a memo telling NBC to end those moronic green weeks, that’s when we’ll believe anything he has to say on this subject.
