General Electric just invested 2 million in a new solar company out of California - while that doesn't seem to be a big deal at first, what is interesting about it is that a spokesperson said it is "part of a greater focus on renewable energy in general, and solar power in particular", Which clearly means they are looking at other renewable/solar companies and we should see more speculation from them in this field. I think we'll be seeing more investments like this, and perhaps even a buyout of a company that brings enough to the table for them to want to take over.
