What Are the Think Tanks Thinking?

Conservative think tanks, including the Institute for the Analysis of Global Security, the Center for Security Policy, the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies, the Heritage Foundation and the Hudson Institute, are trying "to promote a shift away from oil, as the best guarantor of global security, prosperity and freedom." "Set America Free," the coalition's energy security plan, "calls for the U.S. to immediately introduce next-generation fuels and vehicles that use existing technologies," "recommends popularizing existing hybrid electric vehicles," and "suggests increasing use of fuel additives, electricity, alcohol fuels like ethanol and non-oil based diesel," according to Oil Daily.
