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 In 2005, power plants accounted for over 40 percent of all freshwater withdrawn in the U.S. Many power plants need a huge, steady supply of water to operate, and in hot dry summers, that water can become hard to secure.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.
