GE

In our many discussions and blogs about the Hudson and PCBs, we have of course repeatedly talked about GE, the company which brought jobs to (and then away from) the Hudson region, put PCBs in the river, and has been battling about whether or not to clean them up. I have been wondering what, exactly, GE is. Before I looked at GE’s website, I thought GE was just a company that makes household appliances, but GE is apparently much more. GE consists of six businesses: GE Commercial Finance, GE Healthcare, GE Industrial, GE Infrastructure, GE Money, and NBC Universal. I am surprised by the extent of the products and services that GE offers, many of which I do and can use on a daily basis – from refrigerators and alarm systems to credit cards and entertainment.
