Water for energy: Characterizing co‐evolving energy and water systems under twin climate and energy system nonstationarities
The energy system is a major water user, but understanding how much water is consumed
and withdrawn for energy is a challenging empirical task: nonevaporative volumetric water …

Retirement of US fossil fuel-fired power plants will increase water availability
Nearly two-thirds of fossil fuel-fired electricity generation capacity in the United States is
expected to reach its typical end of life by 2035. While the closure of fossil fuel-fired power …
