WEBINAR INVITATION Water for Energy—Connections, Collisions, and Opportunities
Dear Paul,
This summer's drought brought to light the challenges we face when there isn't sufficient water to cool our nation's power plants. Conventional fossil-fuel and nuclear power plants require water to cool the steam they generate to make electricity. In 2005, power plants accounted for over 40 percent of all freshwater withdrawn in the U.S. Many power plants need a huge, steady supply of water to operate, and in hot dry summers, that water can become hard to secure.
We invite you to join a webinar discussion on the challenges and opportunities for electricity production in a water-constrained future.
*Water for Energy—Connections, Collisions, and Opportunitieshttp://action.ucsusa.org/site/R?i=hoh53jA2l-zMnQWrEqR2og * *Date:* Thursday, October 18 *Time:* 1:00-2:15 p.m. EDT
Register Today http://action.ucsusa.org/site/R?i=4T4okFM72h6GGfXljC3LTg
The webinar will feature:
- *Camille Calimlim*, committee staff, Water and Power Subcommittee, U.S. House of Representatives - *John Rogers*, senior energy analyst and co-manager of the Energy and Water in a Warming World Initiative (EW3), Union of Concerned Scientists - *C. Adam Schlosser*, principal research scientist and assistant director of science research in the Center for Global Change Science, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Register for the Webinar Today Please join us on *Thursday, October 18, from 1:00-2:15 p.m. EDT*, as three leading experts discuss the challenges and opportunities for electricity production in a water-constrained future.

Ms. Calimlim will discuss the energy-water policy landscape and opportunities; Mr. Rogers will present on current power plant water use, highlighting the findings from EW3's *Freshwater Use by U.S. Power Plants: Electricity's Thirst for a Precious Resourcehttp://action.ucsusa.org/site/R?i=It0V1ddl5D3L2gEWvQpEUg * report; and Dr. Schlosser will discuss the water implications of an 80 percent renewable energy future as articulated in the Renewable Electricity Futures Study for which he was a lead author. A question-and-answer session will follow the presentations.
