There are currently only two nuclear reactors under construction in the US. I don't see it as growth industry, unfortunately. The percentage of power generated by coal has been dropping partly because natural gas is a better deal. Currently in the US, 40% of electric power comes from natural gas, 20% from coal, 20% from nuclear, and 20% for renewables (wind, hydro, solar). The percentage from coal will probably continue to drop.
Regarding subsides to car buyers, the Government likes to pick winners and losers. There are also subsides for solar panels, almost all of which come from Asia.

And don't get me started on the carbon credits scam or giving taxpayer funds to purchase luxury cars.
