The government website that tracks stimulus spending lists 27,226 individual awards under the "Energy/ Environment" section, totaling just shy of $34 of the $50 billion. That figure doesn't include things like high speed rail and smart meters, which are among the 43,000-plus "infrastructure" awards.
The Brookings Institution put green stimulus spending at $51 billion. From 2009 to 2014, Brookings estimates the federal government will spend over $150 billion from both stimulus and non-stimulus funds on green initiatives.
