First, let's FIST GE for their greenwash PR ad blitz! If you have more "juice" on GE, spill it all the hell over here!! (You can leave anonymous comments.) Check out a bigger version of our remade ad for GE's ecomagination" propaganda campaign. General Electric's biggest spending on "environmental initiatives" now to deflect criticism, corporate style, is ADVERTISING.

From Sourcewatch:
"One of the GE adsIn May 2005 General Electric, which is now ranked as the world's tenth largest company, launched its "Ecomagination" PR campaign. The project, the company stated, was to "address challenges such as the need for cleaner, more efficient sources of energy." But two years later it turns out that nuclear power plants get the company's count as being imaginative. The global PR blitz has been documented a little but somewhat haphazardly. However, it would be great if together we could create the best, most authoritative article on what is perhaps the boldest global greenwashing campaign around."

Here's how "GREEN" General Electric's military hardware is... they should call themselves Federal Electric!
"FARNBOROUGH, ENGLAND, July 22nd, 2002 -- Lockheed Martin Aircraft & Logistics Centers and GE Aircraft Engines have agreed to develop a military aircraft engine center of excellence at the existing LMALC Kelly Aviation Center in San Antonio, Texas, under a newly-formed joint venture. Lockheed Martin will have majority control of the joint venture, which will be called Kelly Aviation Center, L.P. Under the agreement, the new company will receive Lockheed Martin's overhaul and maintenance workload for the TF39 engine and the T56 engine at the Kelly facility. The TF39 powers the U.S. Air Force C-5 Galaxy. The T56 is used on the P-3 Orion, C-130 Hercules, E-2C Hawkeye, C-2 Greyhound, and to provide auxiliary power for Navy frigates."
In January 2003, GE Aircraft Engines will add the assembly, inspection and test workload for 88 F110-GE-132 engines for the Lockheed Martin F-16 Block 60 aircraft being sold to the United Arab Emirates.
