according to a study by the university of wisconsin-eau claire, super bowl advertisers from 1996 to 2010 outperformed the s&p 500 by more than 1% on average in the week before and after the game. the boost in share price is attributed to the hype associated with advertising in the super bowl. the longer a company hyped their ad during the year, the longer they outperformed the market. public companies advertising in this year's game include best buy, coca-cola and gm. nevertheless, given how critical fans are of the ads, corporations need to make sure they can afford to fall flat. $4 million for 30 seconds is more than some company's entire ad budgets. one of the most prominent examples of a super bowl ad gone bad was just for feet. the shoe retailer aired a racially insensitive ad during the 1999 game and filed for bankruptcy by the end of the same year. the moral of the story? advertiser beware! >> susie: that's "nightly business report" for tuesday, january 31. i'm susie gharib. good night, everyone, and good night to you, too, tom. >> tom: good night, susie. i'm tom hudson. good nigh

i appreciate the support of the ranking member and claire on th -- chair on that as well. i'm concerned about other aspects of the budget but let me focus on something positive. the small modular, these are an exciting innovation, as you know, have safety advantages as well as economic advantages. i know that the regulatory commission has just licensed a plant and another one coming with larger reactors but seems to me this is a good investment, and something that would be very beneficial to energy mix going forward. i thank you for that. with regard to carbon capture technology, i don't know if you had this question from other colleagues and i apologize if i'm repeating something, but the ccs programs i think still are lacking direction in this budget. i don't think there's a pathway here as to how long and how much it's going to cost to be able to develop carbon capture technologies. i would like to see the budget laid out, but in the absence of that, i would hope that the department would do so. i did introduce an amendment last year that would require the department to
