House Panel Approves Green-Tech Portions of 'Stimulus' Bill. By Stephanie Condon, CNET, January 22, 2009. "House Democrats rebuffed Republican attempts to include more loan guarantees for nuclear and clean coal technologies into the so-called stimulus package, along with Republican efforts to make the energy sections more market-oriented. By a largely partisan vote of 34 to 17, the House Energy and Commerce Committee ultimately approved the energy portion of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, which spends about $25 billion on renewable energy, energy efficiency, and electricity transmission. The legislation creates a loan guarantee program for renewable energy systems."
