The Heartland Institute
From Alternative Energy Wiki
The Heartland Institute is a national nonprofit research and education organization, tax exempt under Section 501(c)3 of the Internal Revenue Code, and founded in Chicago in 1984. It is not affiliated with any political party, business, or foundation.
Heartland's mission is to discover, develop, and promote free-market solutions to social and economic problems. Such solutions include parental choice in education, choice and personal responsibility in health care, market-based approaches to environmental protection, privatization of public services, and deregulation in areas where property rights and markets do a better job than government bureaucracies.
The Heartland Institute produces five monthly publications on budget and tax issues, environment and climate, health care reform, information technology and telecommunications, and school reform. It also publishes policy studies and books, hosts conferences and other events, supports 12 senior fellows, and maintains two Web sites (www.heartland.org and www.globalwarmingheartland.org) and a blog (www.fromtheheartland.org).
