Details of the latest version of the economic stimulus bill reveal some renewable energy provisions remain intact. The bill still contains $11 billion for modernizing the U.S. electricity grid and developing so-called smart grids, which utilize technology to create more efficient and less costly methods of moving electricity.

Additionally, the bill slates $6 billion in loan guarantees for renewable energy projects such as wind or solar energy development.

This compromise version is under final debate in both the House and Senate.
