And it raises this very important issue: why have a company that extends from CNBC and NBC on the one hand to energy infrastructure projects or gas turbines and aircraft engines on the other. It’s just does it make sense as a company?
I wanted to put that question to Clara, did she answer it, did she give a clear view of what synergies exist between all the pieces of the GE empire, including of course the capital bit, the finance arm, did she give a clear answer? Well, that’s for you to decide.
