These ex-Alstom Haliade X wind turbines just keep bringing the hits to GE. Expect more layoffs in Renewables business soon.

Wait for it just wait. More to fail give them time to ship them and install.

Well yes look at all the new hires in Schenectady. Very very limited new skilled labor walking on this campus. This is a big smoke and mirror dog and pony show for tax breaks. It’s normal practice just wait for the bottom to break like the last 3 blades.

1000s all the 2x and 3x Onshore are junk. All blades were designed by ex Alstom LM Wind guys. If you remember everything Alstom made was of the highest quality lead by the French who are masters at running a business.
