Background
Nicolas (Nick) Loris is a research fellow at the Heritage Foundation where, according to his profile, he writes about โenergy supplies, energy prices, and other economic effects of environmental policies and regulations, including climate change legislation, energy efficiency mandates, and energy subsidies.โ2โNicolas Loris,โ The Heritage Foundation. Archived Aug 4, 2018. Archive URL: https://archive.fo/uZZSN
He also โarticulates the benefits of free market environmentalismโ and covers coal, oil, natural gas, and nuclear energy. Loris was formerly an associate at the Charles G. Koch Charitable Foundation where he was a senior fellow until joining Heritage in 2007.3โNicolas Loris,โ The Heritage Foundation. Archived Aug 4, 2018. Archive URL: https://archive.fo/uZZSN
Stance on Climate Change
March 10, 2017
Loris was quoted in an article at E&E News, which noted that his work at the Heritage Foundation had the potential to make it into the Trump administration’s energy strategy.4Umair Irfan. โMeet the man behind the Heritage energy budget proposal,โ E&E News, March 10, 2017. Archived August 6, 2018. Archive.is URL: https://archive.fo/V5Njq
โI do still think there’s plenty of disagreement on how much warming is man-made, how quickly the planet is warming, what a doubling of CO2 emissions will mean for global temperatures,โ he said. โThat’s not to say climate change isn’t happening or that man-made emissions aren’t playing a role. That’s obviously the case.โ5Umair Irfan. โMeet the man behind the Heritage energy budget proposal,โ E&E News, March 10, 2017. Archived August 6, 2018. Archive.is URL: https://archive.fo/V5Njq
January 18, 2017
In an article at The Daily Signal, Loris defended Scott Pruitt’s confirmation as EPA Administrator and claimed Pruitt was not a climate change denier. Loris also described his own interpretation of climate change science:6โScott Pruitt Provides an Opportunity to Rein in a Rogue EPA,โ The Daily Signal, January 18, 2017. Archived Aug 6, 2018. Archive.is URL: https://archive.fo/cZ9Hr
โPruittโs opponents painted him as a climate denier, despite the fact heโs never actually denied the science behind man-made warming. The reality is climatologists have a wide range of theories as to the magnitude of warming, the causes, man-made emissionsโ impact on warming, and the rate of future warming and reliability of climate models to predict centuries into the future.
โDespite claims from senators that the planet is experiencing more frequent and intense natural disasters, the data show no trends for extreme weather events. And despite fearmongering about sea level increases that would flood coastal cities, the current rate of sea level rise lies far beneath alarmist projections.โ
September 6, 2016
โWe all know the climate changes. The debate, which is very much open, is how fast the climate is changing, why itโs changing, and what is manโs impact,โ Loris wrote at The Daily Signal.7โWhy the Mediaโs Portrayal of Carbon Dioxide Is Often Wrong,โ The Daily Signal, September 6, 2016. Archived Aug 6, 2018. Archive.is URL: https://archive.fo/6pG5P

โThe fact of the matter is that no overwhelming consensus exists among climatologists on the magnitude of future warming, manโs impact on the climate, or on the urgency to reduce carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions,โ Loris wrote at The Daily Signal.8Nicolas Loris. โThe Leftโs Climate Change Hysteria,โ The Daily Signal, July 12, 2016. .

Key Quotes
April 6, 2018
Loris co-wrote an article at the Heritage Foundation’s publication, The Daily Signal, where he declared:9Elliott Raia and Nicolas Loris, โCollege Republicansโ Misguided Support for a Carbon Tax,โ The Daily Signal, April 6, 2018, Archived August 6, 2018. Archive.is URL: https://archive.fo/8gawU
โThe purpose of taxing carbon dioxide is not because of its impact on human health, but because of its alleged contribution to climate change. Taxing carbon dioxide emissions, however, will not result in any meaningful abated warming.โ
October 10, 2017
โThe Clean Air Act was never intended to regulate carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions,โ Loris wrote at The Daily Signal, โCongress should pass legislation prohibiting the EPA and other agencies from implementing harmful regulations that stunt economic growth and produce futile climate benefits.โ10Nicolas Loris. โObamaโs Climate Plan Was a Failure on All Accounts,โ The Daily Signal, October 10, 2017.

Writing at The Daily SIgnal, writing of โclean coalโ in the context of reduced CO2 emissions, Loris described it as โa waste of money and diverts resources away from other competitive usesโ:11Nicolas Loris. โCoal in America Is Already Clean.

Key Deeds
April 13, 2020
Writing in a Heritage Foundation article praising the Trump Administration’s rollback of fuel economy standards, Loris suggested they hadn’t gone far enough and โpolicymakers should jettison fuel economy standards altogether.โ13โThe Best Fuel Economy Standard Is Zero,โ The Heritage Foundation, April 13, 2020. Archived April 28, 2020. Archive URL: https://archive.vn/MuYKn
โFuel economy standards are a relic of the past,โ Loris suggested. He also suggested โThe global temperature impact would be practically immeasurableโ for CAFE standards and that โConsumers should have the freedom to buy the vehicle of their choice. Policymakers will get it ‘just right’ when they scrap CAFE entirely.โ14โThe Best Fuel Economy Standard Is Zero,โ The Heritage Foundation, April 13, 2020. Archived April 28, 2020.

Loris wrote an opinion piece in the Chattanooga Times Free Press, distributed by the Tribune Content Agency, countering arguments for the oil industry’s inclusion in the financial relief bills passed by the U.S. government in response to the coronavirus. Loris summarized the forces responsible for driving the price of oil down and said a bailout would prevent the self-correction markets need in a capitalist economy.15Nicolas Loris. โWhat do collapsing oil prices mean for America?โ The Chatanooga Times Free Press, March 11, 2020.

โThough the industry hasn’t asked for one, some within the administration are floating the idea of a โfinancial reliefโ package,โ Loris wrote. โDoing so would be a terrible ideaโฆno matter what financial woes lie ahead for the U.S. oil industry, a taxpayer-funded bailout isn’t the answer.โ

โWhoโs benefiting from this government-forced benevolence?โ He wrote, โThe people who need help from other taxpayers and ratepayers the least.

โRather than imposing regulations and gifting subsidies to nudge consumers in a specific direction, policymakers should eliminate preferential treatment for all fuels and technologies. When it comes to car and light truck purchases, consumers should be in the driverโs seat,โ Loris said.21Nicolas Loris. โCongressional Testimony,โ House Committee on Energy & Commerce, June 20, 2019.

The SAFE (Safer Affordable Fuel-Efficient) Vehicles Rule proposed by the Trump administration would apply to cars and light-duty trucks in model years 2021-2026 and freeze the 2021 fuel-economy mandate at 37 mpg through 2025, replacing the Obama-era Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards.22โHEARING ON โDRIVING IN REVERSE: THE ADMINISTRATIONโS ROLLBACK OF FUEL ECONOMY AND CLEAN CAR STANDARDSโ,โ House Committee on Energy & Commerce, June 20, 2019.

An official fact sheet released by the Department of Transportationโs National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) claimed the SAFE rule would save โup to 1,000 lives lost annually in fatal vehicle crashes,โ although Deputy NHTSA Administrator Heidi King could not provide corroborating data in the committee hearing.23โFact Sheet,โ U.S. Department of Transportation & U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, August 2, 2018.

Loris testified at a hearing of the House Committee on Oversight Reformโs Subcommittee on Environment. After admitting that climate change โis real and it is clear that man-made emissions are having an impact,โ Loris downplayed scientistsโ understanding of climate change:25โSubcommittee on Environment: Climate Change, Part I: The History of a Consensus and the Causes of Inaction.โ Oversight.House.Gov. April 9, 2019. Archived April 15, 2019. Archive.is URL: http://archive.is/G7I7u
โDistinguishing what climatologists know, what they do not know, and what they might know is necessary so that objective, transparent science can guide public policy. [โฆ] Science should be a guiding principle for Congress; however, the politicization of science jeopardizes sound policymaking,โ Loris claimed in his testimony.26โSubcommittee on Environment: Climate Change, Part I: The History of a Consensus and the Causes of Inaction.โ Oversight.House.Gov.

Loris warned against reducing reliance on fossil fuels, and suggested government interference would reduce incomes and GDP while increasing consumer costs and job losses:27โSubcommittee on Environment: Climate Change, Part I: The History of a Consensus and the Causes of Inaction.โ Oversight.House.Gov. April 9, 2019. Archived April 15, 2019. Archive.is URL: http://archive.is/G7I7u
โNo matter where one stands on the urgency to combat climate change, proposed federal policies like cap and trade, a carbon tax, or regulations on power plants would be ineffective in combatting climate change. In fact, the U.S. could cut its carbon-dioxide emissions 100 percent and it would not make a difference abating much warming.โ28โSubcommittee on Environment: Climate Change, Part I: The History of a Consensus and the Causes of Inaction.โ Oversight.House.Gov.

He concluded his testimony by making a case for adaptation to extreme weather events:
โWhether a challenge occurs slowly over time like sea-level rise or occurs without much warning like a hurricane, adaptation to extreme weather is critical to increasing resilience of Americaโs infrastructure. Learning lessons from previous storms and using the best scientific and technical information available will improve the ability to reduce dangers from future climate-related challenges.โ30โSubcommittee on Environment: Climate Change, Part I: The History of a Consensus and the Causes of Inaction.โ Oversight.House.Gov.

Referring to electric vehicle tax credits as a corporate welfare scheme, Loris praised President Trumpโs recent remarks about possibly cutting subsidies for General Motors after the automaker announced thousands of layoffs. Trump hinted that the move would also apply to tax credits for electric vehicles produced by GM.31Nicolas Loris. โUnplug Electric Vehicle Subsidies and Let Consumers Decide,โ The Daily Signal, December 3, 2018.

Writing for The Daily Signal, Loris also proposed the elimination of credits and subsidies for all forms of energy:
โRather than extend the tax credit for electric vehicles, Congress should eliminate preferential treatment for all energy sources and technologies.
