"The reality, of course, is that it doesn't matter how much sun or wind there is as long as the government provides huge subsidies at the expense of the taxpayer and of the economy's future prospects ... [leaving the United States] in the unenviable position of being the only major economic power led by a president dogmatically wedded to yesterday's make-believe universe of green energy that has already been debunked by reality in the rest of the world."
In its April 20 issue, National Review published an astonishing account of huge expansions of nuclear-electric generating capacity, both underway and planned, throughout the world.

"New Energy Economy" is cheerleader's rhetoric for the failing green energy that is the subject of the outtake above. The United States is, as they say, "sucking wind."
