Not sure about the spelling (away from my New Seattle). That aside, who owns or has a stake in Gaietronics? I'm working on a run involving them, but I can't remember if its been stated who their parent corp is or if they even have one. Thanks.

Gaeatronics is owned in whole by the Salish-Shidhe council. You can find the Sixth World Wiki entry here (which should probably be updated to reflect the fact that they are owned by the SSC):

EDIT: Here's the entry out of New Seattle:
QUOTE
Gaeatronics provides most of Seattle’s power with its Olympic fusion plant. Gaeatronics is also heavily invested in alternative energy sources (solar, wind and geothermal) in the Olympic Peninsula and the Cascade Mountains. The corp’s power-systems research turns out gigapulses of useful geographic and environmental data, which it sells to various corporations and research foundations.

Gaeatronics’ biggest competitor is Shiawase Atomics, which controls most of the fusion plants along North America’s eastern seaboard and in Asia. Gaeatronics has a mostly deserved rep for sincere concern about the environment, and its advertising takes advantage of that to present Gaeatronics as the “ecofriendly” option.

> Gaeatronics uses its pull with the Salish-Shidhe government and various eco-terrorist organizations to get things done. The corporation does very well in the NAN, where it has a virtual monopoly, and in Seattle for almost the same reason; however, it’s had difficulties expanding its market beyond those boundaries. Gaeatronics is dealing with that by covertly supporting eco-terrorist attacks on competing operations to push them out of an area so that the big G can move in.

The sprawling, multi-level Gaeatronics building in Bellevue is affectionately known as “Gaeatronics Mountain,” because the exterior walls are made of a streaked grayish stone that resembles natural rock and are covered with ivy. Trees and shrubs grow on the rooftops of the stepped-level structure. With the metroplex as one of its best customers, the Mountain sees a lot of coming and going. Gaeatronics President David Gray Bear spends most of his time at the corporation’s Olympia facility, but makes regular visits to Seattle.

Also check pg. 19 of New Seattle. The hospital Deireadh An Tuarthell has an "illegal" tap on the Gaetronics power lines running under Mt. Rainier. The hospital is in the Puyallup district of Seattle.

That's interesting and something that I've overlooked.
