Yep, it really stunk. Alstom Power VP was sure we had the 5 million dollar Euro Grant in hand. He told me by PM post mortem that had GE not bought Alstom Power, they would have won the grant/or funded the pilot plant internally. He had the power to that at Alstom, but not at GE.
Shit happens. When I was being courted by GE for my Tech I won US DOE grants for ages ago. the DOE warned me about GE. Said they were not my friends!!! Had other run ins with them before.
