virtually none.
renewable technologies are growing, but they're not growing as fast as demand for electricity.
clearly the environment will suffer, but not as much.
just as the stimulus plan slowed the loss of jobs, but didn't show any growth, and has been criticized, renewable technologies are going to be criticized because they haven't reduced the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere.

that being the case, any changes will be in the nature of, life didn't get as bad as it would have otherwise, but we'll never know how bad that would have been. it's really easy to complain about something that didn't happen, saying that it wouldn't have happened anyway. and it's virtually impossible to prove that statement wrong.
