Our Vision

Building an America where freedom, opportunity, prosperity, and civil society flourish.

About The Heritage Foundation

Founded in 1973, The Heritage Foundation is a research and educational institution—a think tank—whose mission is to formulate and promote conservative public policies based on the principles of free enterprise, limited government, individual freedom, traditional American values, and a strong national defense. We believe the principles and ideas of the American Founding are worth conserving and renewing. As policy entrepreneurs, we believe the most effective solutions are consistent with those ideas and principles.

    Point: Why, out of 100% of the drilling rigs running in the lower 48 79% are drilling for natural gas, where we have little or no shortage, and 21% are drilling for Oil? Could it be that it’s cheaper to complete gas wells. No muss no fuss. How about incentives to drill for oil.

    Point: Everyone wants to develop alternative fuel resource that have no infrastructure when
    Natural Gas/Gas systems have been used for 40 years. Every gas station has a propane station. We could buildup the same system for natural gas
    and build them at a rate of 30 per day. That’s 10,950 refueling points per year. This would make a real dent in the Oil Crisis.
