...generous government subsidies that helped support the rapid growth of alternatives in countries like Spain and Germany are being scaled back just as the technologies have taken off.

...truly fantastic part of this six-year, $26 million initiative is that it is a generous, cohesive, public/private collaboration. The Boston Foundation, a major funder of non-profit organizations in Boston, will be providing $1 million every year. In addition, the State Street Foundation, United Way, the Alchemy Foundation, the Lewis Family Foundation, the Josephine and Louise Crane Foundation, the Barr Foundation, and the Baupost Group will all be supporting the program financially...
