Important folks are leaving places like GE and joining places like Tesla, SpaceX, and my own company LightSail, precisely because they are disenchanted with the proclivity of GE to actually decide to invest in real new inventions.
Despite the fact that GE could invest in new technologies, they are not. The man promoted to the head of technology for power and water for GE instead joined us, for, he says, exactly this frustration.
Hopefully, this will be a possible thing for them to change -- or they are going to keep losing their best people.

The government is currently the only interested customer, and just barely at that. 1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polywell http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polywell
