About $100M was allocated for potential tax credits for glass and window manufacturers of which 7 were listed. All of them are listed on the Serious Materials blog and in the fed award document that is published. Serious qualified for 0.5% of that, if they spend $1.5M on equipment and create jobs in the next 4 years. The other window and glass companies qualified for 99.5% of it.

Moreover, in the IRS review it shows an independent group was hired, not affiliated with DOE or IRS to choose the 183 companies included. DOE had no involvement. The company posted a blog with the facts that Stossel refused to air, like Zoi did not even work for the DOE when the VP toured one of their plants (and he has toured 57 plants in the US in the past year): <a href="http://blog.seriousmaterials.com/?p=1007" rel="nofollow">http://blog.seriousmaterials.com/?p=1007</a> They were not the only window company listed actually.
