Stop playing games with green policy

There are Americans saying they are afraid that China may get ahead in new energy competition. There are Chinese saying they are convinced that "a great number" of their own new energy projects are just for show, not really productive.

What's wrong here? People are disheartened to hear, from some central government officials at the ongoing session of the National People's Congress (NPC), that, for example, some large wind farms being built in the northwest simply cannot last long enough to recoup their investment.

They generate wind power, but they don't resist sandstorms, we are told.
