Show me the money...

The "stimulus fairy" has sprinkled federal stimulus money to five Bay Area companies and one university, all which focus on "high risk" energy technology . Recipients of the most recent awards are:

• Envia Systems of Hayward - $4 Million
• NanOasis Technologies of Richmond - $2 Million
• PAX Streamline of San Rafael - $3 Million
• Porifera in conjunction with Lawrence Livermore National Labs - $1 Million
• Stanford University - $5 Million

The money was initialy designated under the Advanced Research Projects Agency - the actual funding for the programs came from $400 Million in Federal Stimulus money.
