Water risk in the energy sector, a Texas-sized concern with mounting national implications

Thursday, September 17, 2026 at noon eastern standard time.

Dennis Wamsted and Anika Juhn

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.
