Obama Administration Gives Clean Energy $1 Billion in Stimulus Funds

[Baack]

With President Obama talking climate change and other issues with President Hu Jintao of China, his administration announced Tuesday that it had given more than $1 billion from the stimulus plan to companies investing in domestic clean energy projects

At a meeting in Washington, Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner and Energy Secretary Steven Chu announced $550 million in new awards as part of the $787 billion stimulus plan passed last winter. Today's awards mean the administration has surpassed $1 billion in funds given to companies committed to domestic renewable energy production.
"The country that leads in this new industrial revolution will be the country that prospers the most from it," Chu said. "We hope that all countries can prosper that will make these investments. But we see this as a core of the future economic prosperity, both short- and long-term, in the United States."

Here's a better idea, instead of stealing it from us in the form of some hidden tax most likely, why don't you get the people that put the cash in your campaign, ya know all your lil boosters, make them pay for it, not the rest of us
