Ron Paul is a man of principles; he is in favour of energy independence, but by allowing the free market to do it, rather than forcing companies or "incentivising" them to focus on alternative energy sources. He's anti corporate welfare...of course he's going to vote against things that give tax credits.
But how do we get clean energy without incentives? We won't make the energy companies become public (government run), maybe we shouldn't... But how to get the big energy companies to become cleaner? I'm not in favor of corporate welfare either, but pragmatically speaking how do we get from where we are now to green energy?
