$2bn for two solar energy projects
Nearly $2bn (£1.3bn) in loan guarantees will be given to two companies to kick-start the US solar energy industry, President Barack Obama has announced.
One of the firms, Abenoga Solar, says that it is planning to build the largest solar power plant in the world in Arizona.Mr Obama said the projects would provide more than 5,000 new jobs.
