Ostrich / Dinosaur Ron Paul Advocates Disastrous Energy Policy

Congressman Ron Paul (R - TX)

by Konrad Imielinski, energy.seekingalpha.com


Ron Paul has the least favorable position on alternative energy. He believes the American economy will continue to depend on oil in the foreseeable future. He is putting alternative energy on the back burner, and instead focusing on increasing the number of domestic refineries. Just recently, he voted Yes for the Refinery Permit Process Schedule Act.


Paul has opposed every bill supporting alternative energy investment:


• Voted NO for the Clean Energy Act of 2007 - To reduce our Nation's dependency on foreign oil by investing in clean, renewable, and alternative energy resources, promoting new emerging energy technologies, developing greater efficiency, and creating a Strategic Energy Efficiency and Renewable Reserve to invest in alternative energy (01/18/2007)



• Voted NO for the Energy Policy Act of 2005 – To develop an energy policy that addresses tax incentives, conservation strategies, regulatory standards, research and development programs, energy efficiency, and alternative sources of energy (07/28/2005)

• Voted NO for the Energy Omnibus bill - To enhance energy conservation and research and development, to provide for security and diversity in the energy supply for the American people (06/15/2004)

• Voted NO for the Securing America's Future Energy [SAFE] Act of 2001 - To enhance energy conservation, research and development and to provide for security and diversity in the energy supply for the American people (08/02/2001)

The problem is that Ron Paul has a tendency to vote against proposals for government spending, initiatives, and/or taxes. Could any progress be made in the alternative energy field without any of the three?

It would be extremely difficult for such a candidate to lead us towards energy independence if he is unwilling to invest in a cleaner future.

Anyone disagree?

You are missing the point. We cannot have a truly competitive energy market with so much government collusion with the oil companies. Ron Paul is the ONLY candidate who understands that and will work to end the massive subsidies to oil companies. He understands that the market is the best innovator - NOT the government - and thus the government shouldn't be "investing" in anything. People should be free to do so. With less taxes, they will be. That is why he is the best choice for the environment!

Thanks for your comment; If RP is such an ecologist, then why is he in the party that has so little respect for environmental policy?
