Green in- vestment is a major pillar of Obama's economic recovery plan. Yet, America's dependence on foreign countries to produce green technologies may undermine this recovery strategy.

As intended, the $787 billion stimulus package is creating thousands of “green jobs,” yet, of the money spent thus far, eight of every $10 went to a foreign company.

Growth in clean energy industries and in green jobs has been considerably slower and bumpier than anticipated, industry experts say.
