Government investment in renewable energy, energy efficiency and clean tech. (HSBC 2009)
The $121 billion or so of economic stimulus spent in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act on "green" projects like high speed rail, energy efficiency, renewable energy and the smart grid is undoubtedly a hefty sum of money, yet it is dwarfed by green stimulus spending in China in 2009.
