Corporate welfare has to stop and soon! Walsh seems to think only his company matters and the country and communities don't. This is what happens with the Harvard MBA mentality of "short term greed before long term common sense" is exclusively applied within large organizations. Then GE, Toshiba/Westinghouse, GD, GMC, Ford, and Chrysler have known this for at least 40 years. I think it is time for the 'little guys' to get the government contracts without the huge "options" ladden and short term bonus ladden yearly salaries of the top 22% of corporate management. Maybe we could actually get a project completed on or before schedule and exceed output expectations from day one! The public would seriously take that "Happy Pill", but this is a dream of change only the current Dem congress along with the world GE's just can't fathom much less visualize. Development must come on the private R&D dollar with the incentive of being there first and dominating the market for years to come with the best defined need product and service.
We should be chasing cellulosic reduction and organic garbage conversion to get two issues resolved with one incentive, garbage reduction and renewable fuels production. These systems should be popping up everywhere as the science and application has been proven project and production cost efficient. Yet Congress and Big Corp management chase highly unreliable inefficient systems development with the federal incentives and ignore the simple proven systems rapid development across the nation in all of the communities.
