Based on the scale from Clapp and Dauvergne, I would say Ron Paul is a social green, while Hillary Clinton is a institutionalist. Ron Paul wants to cut the size of government and government spending while still proceeding towards a greener society. He does not rely upon institutions and bases everything on the constitution, saying environmental issues arise from a lack of respect of property rights. Hillary, on the other hand, bases her environmental policy around the government and the market, and it heavily relies on institutions. Her policies would require new institutions to be created in order to make America greener. I believe Ron Paul talks the most sense regarding the environment. He voted against federal funds for logging, actively works against government programs that harm the environment, and pursues means to encourage sustainable energy.
Vote Ron Paul....
