A helpful, if brief report on the difficulty business could have qualifying for Obama's green stimulus package. I don't really get a sense of what kinds of projects might be proposed, and some examples would have helped.

Informative overview on the Obama Administration's stimulus package, which observers say is more likely to fund projects that are "green, shovel-ready, short-term, and job-producing." While this report is largely based on third-party accounts, rather than the Obama administration itself, it is well researched and provides useful context from multiple perspectives.

Although the story is a rather compressed and superficial version of a much deeper subject, it hits on some good points and quotes impressive sources such as Edward Mazria and Joseph Romm.
Some of the "green" claims by the nuclear industry may be a bit dodgy as they don't touch on the opportunity costs of this expensive and time-consuming technology (not to mention the hazardous waste issue).
