Talk:General Electric
There is not a word about General Electric's operation of nuclear power plants.
This is an important subject, as GE only operates nuclear plants in the US, while the "energy superpower", Russia's Rosatom is answering global demand for electricity worldwide by building and operating nuclear power plants. RobSAbnormal is fine. Stupid isn't. 18:58, March 13, 2026 (EDT)
The whole subject of building nuclear plants for export is very interesting. A contract to build includes longterm operation of the plant by the builder's technicians (Russia & France are the only two nations competing in the global market). A contract includes not just supplying the personnel for operation, by also the uranium and, very importunely, safe removal and disposal of spent fuel rods to the country of origin. I suspect this is because disposal of nuclear waste in the US for its own production is why the US (GE & Westinghouse) remains uncompetitive globally. RobSAbnormal is fine.

- GE no longer operates in the nuclear industry. It spun off its healthcare and energy businesses into separate companies (GE Healthcare and GE Vernova, respectively; both still have the right to use the GE name and legendary logo). GE Aerospace - the aircraft engine manufacturer - is the legal successor to General Electric. IF I can get Conservapedia to fix its server problems, I plan to further update this article with information on sales and spinoffs. Quidam65 (talk) 21:36, March 13, 2026 (EDT)
- I've changed this to a disambiguation page, the text on the conglomerate can be found at General Electric (conglomerate). A newer article on the legal successor, GE Aerospace, is forthcoming. Quidam65 (talk) 09:37, March 14, 2026 (EDT)
- Hmmm. Must've been the insurance liability that drove them out. RobSAbnormal is fine. Stupid isn't. 10:04, March 14, 2026 (EDT)
