How did the 'Green Energy' law did in terms of jobs?

In 2008, when then-Gov. Jennifer Granholm signed the state's mandated alternative energy law, she said a $6 billion investment would generate 17,000 jobs.

Gov. Granholm called the alternative energy mandate "perhaps the most important legislation to create jobs and diversify Michigan's economy that has crossed my desk. … This comprehensive energy plan will create all kinds of jobs for all kinds of people."
