DETROIT – Kicking off the SAE 2012 World Congress in Detroit, GE’s Jeffrey Immelt said that the main impediments to achieving a robust smart grid for EVs are not technology-related, but rather business-process issues.
Key among the 10 ideas for business and country competitiveness that General Electric?s Chairman and CEO shared to open the SAE 2012 World Congress was that the U.S. must take a leadership role in the energy sector. And Jeffrey Immelt believes that is not just a pipe dream.
?The United States really doesn?t suffer from any challenges that can?t be solved through innovation and smart use of our natural resources,? he asserted during his April 24 keynote address in the AVL Technology Leadership Center. Beyond possessing ?some of the best wind corridors [and] access to coal and oil in a variety of places,? a ?core part? of this country?s energy potential lies with natural gas, Immelt said.
