Competitor GE Wind Energy, a unit of General Electric, ranked number one in wind turbines sales in the U.S. in 2009, according to a recent report from the American Wind Energy Association.
Little also pointed out that GE has significant experience in wind energy, solar, and in nuclear power.
Among the new gizmos and gadgets showcased by GE were a slew of energy-efficient smart appliances, the GE Energy Smart LED, an advanced small wind turbine, and an Yves Behar-designed home electric vehicle charging dock called the GE WattStation.
Bigger guns like Goldman Sachs and General Electric 's GE Energy Financial Services have done some renewable energy financing as well, primarily of wind farms.
Backed by Dow Chemical, they hope to use this technology to challenge the big and established wind energy giants (Siemens, Vestas, Enercon, Gamesa, GE, and a small number of other highly capitalized players) in the offshore frontier.
