General Electric, which Forbes ranked with General Motors as Number 1 in the Forbes 500, has an enormous financial stake in the continuation and development of the nuclear power industry.
In addition to its industrial holdings, General Electric owns NBC which controls the following assets:

Westinghouse, another company involved in the nuclear industry, including in the handling and disposal of nuclear waste, owns CBS. CBS owns 14 major maket TV stations, over 40 radio stations, a radio news network carried by 450 stations, and the following key news programs:
- CBS Morning News
- 60 Minutes
