""New US energy secretary Steven Chu has outlined how the Department of Energy will spend $1.2bn of the $1.6bn in research funding provided by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, which became law in February. Chu says most of the money for science from President Barak Obama's stimulus package for 2009 will be spent on accelerating the progress of existing "shovel-ready" research projects and lab construction programmes.""
