I adore The Wizard of Oz and get off on talk of a smart grid,* so I’m digging this GE commercial.

If only GE hadn’t moved their entire compact fluorescent light-bulb production to China.

As Larry Cohen, the president of the Communications Workers of America, put it today at the Good Jobs Green Jobs conference: GE has taken the low road. They’re spending on Super Bowl advertising rather than American jobs … and it shows.  Why can’t we have both cool ads and good jobs?

* An electric grid that can move energy efficiently from the places where it’s produced, like hydroelectric plants in upstate New York, to the places where it’s used, like NYC.
