I've heard of the Competitive Enterprise Institute for quite a few years.
While I've never become particularly familiar with them, my impression is
that they are consistent supporters of free market policies. If they are
also defending GM, that's another gold star as far as I'm concerned.

They have some free market environmentalist material, such as Earth Report
2000:

and Ecology, Liberty & Property: A Free Market Environmental Reader at:
