Hi, Frank
Your review is excellent: concise, clear and captures Crane's central arguments.
My main quarrel with the study is its recommendation that government not attempt to ration fuel.
There are other issues which I wish that Crane had explored (and I encouraged him to consider doing so), but I'm sure that the subsequent issues would have taken him far beyond the scope of what he wanted to address.
These concerns were posted last month at Armed Forces Journal, then at Energy Bulletin:

Other than these concerns, I thought that Crane did a very thorough job and his study is a useful addition to the energy security literature.
