Mark P. Mills is a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute, where he is classified as a climate expert. He publishes articles in the Wall Street Journal, USA Today, and Real Clear. He is also a coauthor of The Bottomless Well: The Twilight of Fuel, the Virtue of Waste, and Why We Will Never Run Out of Energy. In the past, he served in the White House Science Office under Reagan.
Mills has said that the Biden administration’s “latest version of a Green New Deal” is “not remotely plausible and that attempting to implement it would lead to massive environmental disruption and increased U.S. economic vulnerability.” In the same article, he wrote that “the environmental impacts associated with the energy materials needed to build a hydrocarbon-free energy future are enormous, though mostly hidden from public view.”
Mills has also testified before Congress several times. In one appearance, he said that the “energy path contemplated with the Paris Accord will lead to the greatest acceleration for mining that the world has ever seen…It also points to an opportunity for the United States to revitalize our domestic mining and mineral processing industries.”
On the Manhattan Institute’s website, he has published articles such as “To Prevent Blackouts from Happening Again, Texas Should Go Nuclear,” “Green Energy’s Overseas Dependence,” “The Myth of the Great ‘Energy Transition’,” “Mines, Minerals, and “Green” Energy: A Reality Check,” and “Our Love of the Cloud is Making a Green Energy Future Impossible.”
