  • History

    General Electric (GE) was formed, in 1890, by a merger between Edison General Electric and Thomson-Houston Company. The former was a consolidation of Thomas Edison's business interests and the latter, lead by Charles A. Coffin, was a company that had acquired numerous companies for their patents.

    In 1896, GE was among the original 12 companies to be included in the Dow Industrial Average.

    In 1911, GE purchased the National Electric Lamp Association (NELA) to expand its lighting business. Also, GE founded Radio Corporation of America (RCA) in 1919 to promote international radio.

    Since its founding, GE has expanded its business enterprises to include aviation, aerospace, computing, financial services, and medical imaging, among many others. [1]

  • Cash for Appliances

    As part of the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act (ARRA), a stimulus bill passed in February, Cash for Appliances has set aside $300 million to encourage consumers to purchase large appliances with the help of rebates. The DOE has set a deadline of October 15 for each state and territory to file a formal application to participate in the program, which would provide rebates of between $50 and $200 for appliances that feature the ENERGY STAR rating. However, unlike Cash for Clunkers, consumers are not required to trade in their old appliances.[1]

    Each state or territory will receive an allocation proportionate to its population, with Califorinia receiving the greatest allocation and the Virgin Islands receiving the least.[2]

    Moreover, each state will be able to establish its own rules for distributing the money, which the DOE expects to be gone by November 30.[3]
