Inhofe: Playing Up China’s Green Energy Status Is 'Pretext for Imposing That Statist Vision on the American Economy' | CNSnews.com: "(CNSNews.com) – A report released today by the minority staff on the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, led by Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.), details how little China relies on green energy, and says the notion that the Asian nation has an exemplary clean energy record is being pushed as a pretext for more top-down control over the U.S. economy.

“The lament that America is losing the ‘clean energy race’ to China is a mere pretext for imposing that statist vision on the American economy,” Inhofe said on Wednesday referencing the report. “China’s command and control system offers alluring possibilities for those who oppose the free market. But a government-directed economy, as with those that preceded it, will fail the test of time.”"
