Embedded in Biden's recent sweeping #climatechange orders are measures on #environmentaljustice and #justtransition. Check out my piece on why those elements are fundamental to the success of tackling climate change. @SPGMarketIntel spglobal.com/marketintellige…

"Many of the nation's coal-fired power plants, often heavy consumers of water resources, are in areas projected to soon face water stress due to climate change." #Indiana is one highlighted area.
Nice to see this @taykuy & @Esthernow story using @PurdueCCRC's #INCCIA reports.
Coal plants already struggle to compete. As water becomes scarce due to #climatechange, water disputes are likely to play a bigger role in decisions to close those plants, said @joesmyth. See story by @taykuy and myself #waterstress spglobal.com/marketintellige…
