Doesnt matter what country you work in, what union you pay dues to, when they are out of business, there are no more jobs. The goal of switching to renewables will prove to be the death nail to not just GE but others as well!

I guess the coal business just wasn't diverse enough, or they would have been higher performing!

This has nothing to do with the environment or regulations, just economics. Coal can't compete in the US because of cheap natural gas. GE coal fired steamers can't compete in the rest of the world because they just aren't cost competitive against cheap foreign suppliers.

This is a brilliant move by GE and supported by AOC I'm guessing as her previous job as a bar tender renders her an expert on this subject!
