Clean cars mean American security
Every day, we send $1 billion overseas for oil. A dangerous amount of that money is funneled to terrorists and unfriendly nations who attack our troops.
That is why Operation Free supports the strong 2025 fuel economy target set by the Obama Administration. This 54.5 mile per gallon target will keep trillions of dollars in the economy and out of the hands of America’s enemies.

Oil funds our enemies — but that’s not the only reason we need to use less.

These climate events impact military operations, threatening our bases with both catastrophes and instability. Reducing our emissions takes on these threats, and a strong, 54.5 mile-per-gallon standard would cut 535 million metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions annually.
Operation Free is leading the fight for clean cars.
The veterans of Operation Free recognize how important it is to let people know about the dangerous ways our oil use leaves us less safe. That’s why we are spreading the word at events around the country, from street corners to state houses. We have been featured on television and the radio, and have sent out educational mail (see our most recent mail piece here).
We’ve even worked with NASCAR to talk to race fans about ending our oil addiction:
