Tomlinson: Legendary oilman George Mitchell’s foundation keeps his iconoclastic spirit alive
“There’s a lot of philanthropy funding climate efforts, funding climate equity, all of the necessary and urgent things that we need to be doing as a society, but are we actually thinking about what that looks like in 20 or 30 years?” Hastings asked me. “What does it mean for communities in an energy-intensive region?”and lead the transition to low-carbon energy. For even longer, Hastings and the Mitchell Foundation have delivered change.
Like many oil wildcatters, Mitchell loved the outdoors and committed himself to sustainability. He developed The Woodlands, north of Houston, as an environmentally-friendly community of 115,000 people that Niche.com recently named the best place in the U.S. to buy a house, and second-best place to raise a family.
“A big part of the Mitchell legacy is that drive to pursue the next solution, the next thing that needs to happen, or that is possible, sometimes despite a lot of criticism,” Hastings said. “He had an equal drive to develop next-generation thinking on what we call sustainability, which is the focus of the foundation.”, bringing together environmentalists, developers, residents and academics to devise strategies to protect West Texas while allowing new fossil fuel and renewable energy projects.
On Thursday, Hastings will launch the Permian Energy Development Lab, which will help transform the Texas energy workforce as the world demands more energy and lower emissions to slow climate change. The coalition will unite eight colleges, two national laboratories and regional energy companies in developing workers and business plans that take advantage of the clean energy transition.
