Energy Investments

How many jobs could the U.S. create in 4 years by investing heavily in solar and wind energy alternatives?
The book “Project New America” puts great stock in alternative energy Investments for lifting the country out of the recession. Here’s a link if you’d like to review it yourself: http://www.sitenet.com/books/NewAmerica/New%20America%207.pdf. How well do you believe this could work?
I would prefer they invest in Nuclear Power. It is more reliable, works in all climate areas, less environmental impact area, and cheaper power.
Nothing wrong with Solar and Wind, they are just not as cost effective and efficient.
