what kind of green projects. we had a company that did R&D for extracting precious metals out of recycled electronics using non-toxic methods. we were even doing the research at the air force academy. the VCs said they'd match funds if we could get a NSF grant. I never worked so hard as I did writing that grant, even though I knew I was beating my head against a wall. We didn't get the grant, needless to say and the founder of the company died unexpectedly from cancer three months later. dark days. it's a relatively cheap process too. too bad. the world may never know. :)
