American Industry Getting a $155 Million Energy Efficiency Upgrade
A total of $155 million in Recovery Act funds will be awarded to 41 industrial energy efficiency projects throughout the country. The efficiency projects are expected to yield almost 14 trillion BTU in energy savings — equal to 112 million gallons of gasoline annually.

Will We Get Our Money’s Worth? $3.4 Billion in Smart Grid Stimulus Grants Go to 100 Projects
We finally know the “Who” and the “How Much” for the Smart Grid stimulus grants. Now if we only knew the “What.” President Obama today announced awards totaling slightly over $3.4 billion for 100 Smart Grid projects. That means about 75% of the applications received by DOE were turned down. What do we get for $3.4 billion? About 18 million smart meters deployed around the country, 700 automated substations and some 200,000 advanced transformers. But we still don’t know which technologies and standards will be used – and that is what will determine whether taxpayers get their money’s worth.

That $3.4 Billion? It’s Just a Fraction of the Stimulus Spend for Energy Projects
