Headquarters For GE Wind Business Has Solar Energy But No Wind Turbines

It makes sense that a company serving the alternative energy business should have a headquarters that reflects the values of the green movement: energy conservation, resource efficiency and renewable fuels.

Teh $45 million redesign comes with efficient air conditioning, water heating, larger windows and preferred parking for hybrids

It’s similar to the head of Tesla Motors diving an electric car. (What about that?)

This was the idea behind the revamped headquarters for GE’s wind turbine and renewable energy business. The $45 million redesign features solar power and reduced water consumption. But one key element is missing.

The company that claims to be the largest supplier of wind turbines in North America, with $6 billion in global revenue and 13,500 turbines installed around the world, has no turbines spinning actively on site.

In a Monday press release, GE said its Renewable Energy Global headquarters in Schenectady, NY, has low-flow faucets, improved insulation, an efficient hot water heater and air conditioning system, larger windows, bike racks and preferred parking for hybrid vehicles. It also has a 48 KW solar system providing power to the facility. But no wind turbines.

So, maybe Elon Musk doesn’t drive a Roadster.
