      Ranking the Candidates' Alt Energy Support: Congressman Ron Paul
      My response is that I have no doubt that Dr. Paul voted against all of these bills. In fact he votes against almost everything, earning him the title of "Dr. No."

      He would argue that the government has no business telling a free market economy what energy source use, so long as it's use doesn't impact the rights of others. He would also argue that a small government could get out of the way, and that in itself would encourage PRIVATE investment into alt. energy sources.

      In short, let me take this quote from the article:

      "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."

      Where does this assumption that all new technology has to come at the end of a government grant come from? Did Edison or Bell have government support for their research?
