IEEFA Webinar 9/17: Water risk in the energy sector, a Texas-sized concern with mounting national implications

Informative webinar coming up from IEEFA on TX energy projects (including new nuclear) and their impact on water resources. Registration link here: https://ieefa.org/events/water-risk-energy-sector-texas-sized-concern-mounting-national-implications.

This webinar is based on one of their recent briefing notes regarding the Fermi nuclear project in TX: https://ieefa.org/resources/first-kind-cooling-plan-fermi-nuclear-project-likely-be-costly-time-consuming.

As communities across the United States grapple with the buildout of massive power generation and petrochemical projects, water availability concerns are becoming a top tier issue. Water is already a scarce resource in many areas where these projects are being proposed, and the outlook is only for more supply problems going forward. IEEFA analysts Dennis Wamsted and Anika Juhn will discuss nuclear and carbon capture projects in water-strapped Texas, what this means for the communities where these projects are proposed, and the broader national implications. The webinar will be recorded.  Join us Thursday, September 17, 2026 at 12:00 pm ET. Register here to attend the webinar.   Thank you for your time, Susan Torres
