Oh yes, what private citizens choose to drive and how the private corporation provides the energy for the private citizens is national security. Along the same line of crap Hamiltonians have been using for years to spin government intervention into private industry.
If the federal government chooses to change all their cars to Hindenburgs on wheels and Energizer bunny cars, let 'em. But I'll stick to my gas guzzling 13 mpg truck thank you.

You can of course drive whatever you wish to.
But, the US will not base its foreign policy on your automotive needs. There is no Constitutional right to gasoline. If we go to war against Iran, as we may have to, one can anticipate losing not only the oil output from Iran but also all the additional oil that passes through the Straits of Hormuz everyday. Some 10 to 15% of the world's daily out put could be interupted for perhaps weeks or even months. Gasoline and diesel prices would skyrocket (with associated demand destruction) and severe shortages might occur.
You might not be able to get as much fuel for your truck as you are used to at the prices you are accustomed to.
If you are fine with that, then I have no problem with your position.
