Now the very plants whose emissions help drive climate change are at risk of shutdowns, because the water they need to operate has fallen to unprecedented levels. hasn't been this dry for more than 1,200 years, but 30 western coal plants continue to suck up 156 million gallons a day of the region's scarce water, according to the Energy Information Administration.
Unless they were able to find a different source of water, we would have to just shut off their water and not allow them to divert," Gebhart says. "They would be likely the first one shut off. Now, amidst a decades-long drought and a shortage of water downstream across the Southwest, future conservation in the basin could mean industrial users like Jim Bridger see their water shut off, says Wyoming State Engineer Brandon Gebhart. This water is piped here from the Green River, a tributary of the rapidly shrinking Colorado River. The plant sucks up about 16 million gallons of water each day, using it to power more than million homes across six western states, all the way to Oregon.īut there's a problem that looms for the coal plant operator and the customers that rely on it for electricity. At the plant's edge there's a reservoir, lined with rocks and clumps of drying grass. This is the Jim Bridger power plant, one of the largest coal-fired power sources in the nation and an enormous emitter of carbon dioxide pollution.
