An estimated 1.1 million people living in the U.S. report lacking some access to running water in their homes, with nearly three-quarters of them living in cities and suburbs, finds new research in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences based on Census Bureau survey data covering 2013 to 2017.

Householders of color in the 50 largest metropolitan areas are 34% more likely to lack what the U.S. Census Bureau calls “complete plumbing” compared with white, non-Hispanic householders, the authors find. The Census Bureau considers a household to have “complete plumbing” if it has running hot and cold water plus a bathtub or shower used only by people living in the dwelling.

Some 39% of households in the largest metro areas are represented by householders of color, but 53% of households in those areas that lack complete plumbing are represented by householders of color, they find.

Overall, the authors estimate 220,300 households and 514,000 people in the nation’s top 50 metro areas lack piped water in their homes — roughly half the number of people in the U.S. without complete plumbing.

“It is hard for many people to imagine that communities in the modern-day U.S. lack such a basic life necessity, but for those of us who work at the crux of infrastructure provision and social and spatial inequality, this story — the story of systemic inequality — is an old story,” lead author Katie Meehan, a senior lecturer in human geography at King’s College London, told Journalist’s Resource by email. “Our analysis shows that the effects of racial capitalism in the housing and water provision sectors are systemic and institutionalized, not random or accidental.”

The authors further find that renters in the top 50 metro areas are 61% more likely to lack complete plumbing compared with residents who own their homes.

According to the PNAS paper, “Geographies of Insecure Water Access and the Housing-Water Nexus in U.S. Cities,” metro areas with the highest percentages of households lacking complete plumbing include: San Francisco; Milwaukee; San Antonio; Cleveland; Los Angeles; New Orleans; New York; Portland, Oregon; Memphis, Tennessee; and Austin, Texas.

Metro areas generally encompass core cities and their surrounding suburbs.

The top five metro areas in terms of the estimated number of people without complete plumbing are New York, with more than 65,000; Los Angeles, with more than 44,000; San Francisco, with more than 27,000; Houston, with more than 20,000; and Miami, with nearly 19,000, according to the paper.

Water access, affordability and safety are three of the primary challenges for U.S. households struggling with water security. On Sept. 4 the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention put into effect a moratorium on residential evictions because “housing stability helps protect public health because homelessness increases the likelihood of individuals moving into congregate settings, such as homeless shelters, which then puts individuals at higher risk to COVID-19,” the agency wrote in its order.

The American Medical Association agreed in a recent legal brief, explaining that the eviction moratorium is helping renters maintain physical distancing, self-quarantining and hand hygiene. People without a piped connection to water in some areas may still be able access clean water — by purchasing purified water from a store, for example, or retrieving water from other sources, such as a stream.

Water access, affordability and safety are three of the primary challenges for U.S. households struggling with water security.

With the CDC no-eviction order set to end Dec. 31, it’s not just housing at stake for millions of Americans who rent and are already at greater risk of lacking complete plumbing — it’s the ability for people to wash their hands at home during a pandemic. The eviction moratorium applies to people renting apartments and houses, and to mobile home owners who lease the land on which they live.

“Eviction is the first phase in a cycle of household insecurity, which we know relates to food insecurity, water insecurity, job insecurity, health insecurity,” says University of Colorado Denver sociologist Esther Sullivan, who wasn’t part of the PNAS paper but has studied mobile home evictions for nearly a decade. “The best thing we can do is not let that cycle start — to invest up front to keep people in their homes.”

The authors of the PNAS paper note that the Census Bureau often undercounts renters, people without homes and people of color, “demographics that are disproportionately plumbing poor.” The Census Bureau has acknowledged that those groups are undercounted. Given census undercounting, the authors explain the actual number of people in the U.S. that lack complete plumbing is likely closer to 2 million — roughly the size of the Kansas City metro area, for comparison.

“There’s percentages and then there’s numbers,” says Manny Teodoro, an associate professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison who has studied water affordability, but was not part of the PNAS paper and hasn’t reviewed its methodology. “Even if it’s a tiny percentage, a million or two [million] people is a lot of people — and it should be unacceptable to us.”

Meehan and her co-authors focus on urban and suburban households that lack complete plumbing despite being “close to networked supply.” But their research has implications for rural households, too.

The type of structure people live in matters when it comes to access to running water. Mobile homes make up 2.6% of households in the 50 largest metros but represent 5.2% of households that don’t have complete plumbing, according to the PNAS paper. Mobile home households are 89% more likely to lack piped water compared with other types of homes, the authors find. While metro areas are often associated with cities and suburbs, they can include rural areas where mobile homes are more commonly found.

“Within a metropolitan area, there absolutely will be many mobile home parks,” says Sullivan. “It’s useful to think about the top 50 metropolitan areas. That’s big metros, small metros. That’s good because that will capture many, many types of places.”

For example, the Houston metro area, as Sullivan points out, is comprised of nine counties, several of which are rural in part.

Burdensome costs

Even for households that have complete plumbing, the cost of water can be a significant financial drain. Roughly one-third of households in the largest 50 metro areas are “cost-burdened,” meaning they spend more than 30% of their income on housing costs, according to the PNAS paper. The authors find almost half of households without complete plumbing are cost-burdened. The median household income across the top 50 metro areas is about $65,000, compared with a median income of about $33,000 for households in those areas that lack complete plumbing, according to the authors.

The cost of water can be a significant financial drain.

In his April 2020 paper, “Water and Sewer Affordability in the United States,” Teodoro estimates that monthly water and sewer bills eat up a substantial portion of low-income families’ disposable income. Households that are among the lowest fifth percentile of income earners use on average 12.4% of their disposable monthly income — equivalent to 10 hours of work at local minimum wages — to pay their water and sewer bills. The estimate is based on a sample of nearly 400 utilities — about three-quarters of them public and one-quarter private — serving populations ranging from 3,300 people to more than 100,000.

“What we’re trying to capture is the tradeoffs customers have to make to pay for their water and sewer bill,” Teodoro says. “The minimum wage metric is nice because it’s immediately intuitive and it provides a sense of the opportunity costs of paying water and sewer bills.”

One big idea Teodoro proposes to address water affordability in the U.S. is to consolidate water utilities. Large water systems tend to deliver higher quality water more efficiently to customers, he says. Teodoro estimates there are 30,000 to 40,000 organizations running some 50,000 water systems across the country. Some municipalities share water delivery responsibilities while others operate their own water organizations.

“To give you a sense of how much complexity that introduces, there are about 1,200 electrical utilities in the U.S. and you’ll hear the electric folks bemoan how complex their governance is,” he says. “We’re talking about an order of magnitude larger for water.”

Teodoro has proposed several other solutions, including regulatory reform and technology upgrades. But consolidation is the first step toward facilitating the rest, he says. There has been some recent progress at the federal level. In an Oct. 13 executive order, President Donald Trump laid out a range of directives aimed at improving water resource management, including the consolidation of federal water-related task forces, working groups and cross-agency initiatives.

“Water at the federal level is managed through several different agencies, which creates a lot of confusion, and sometimes these agencies work at cross purposes,” Teodoro says. “You might have the [Environmental Protection Agency] wanting utilities to consolidate but the [Department of Agriculture] has a rural development program to assist small systems. But that could also be seen as something like life support for systems that maybe ought to be consolidated.”

From unpaid bills to home loss

It’s difficult to assess the number of people in the U.S. who have trouble paying their water bills because “water bills themselves are such a local issue,” says Coty Montag, senior counsel at the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, who wrote “Lien In: Challenging Municipalities’ Discriminatory Water Practices Under the Fair Housing Act,” published in July 2020 in the Harvard Civil Rights-Civil Liberties Law Review.

No-eviction orders are helping renters maintain hand hygiene.

The average monthly cost of water for a family of four buying water from one of the 30 largest water systems in the U.S. has increased 64% in the past decade, from $44.39 in 2010 to $72.93 in 2019, according to reporting from Circle of Blue, a nonprofit journalism and research outlet that covers water access and affordability. Those figures are a small snapshot of the water systems in the U.S. and capture systems “which typically display better financial strength, greater economies of scale, and fewer health violations than their smaller counterparts,” writes senior reporter Brett Walton.

When residents cannot pay their water bills, they can face serious repercussions and even lose their homes. An unpaid water bill of just a few hundred dollars can lead to home loss in certain municipalities — even if a homeowner has paid off their mortgage.

Take an unpaid bill of $300 in Cleveland, for example, where there is “no statutory minimum to initiate this process,” Montag says. “You could have a very low unpaid bill and end up in this process.”

If a Cleveland homeowner can’t pay off a $300 bill, the city can place a lien on their property. A lien is a legal claim on an asset, such as real estate. The person or entity owning or “holding” the lien can take over the property if the debt remains unpaid. The lien certificate holder — the City of Cleveland in this example — can sell the lien to another entity, such as a bank. If the debt remains unpaid, the lienholder can initiate foreclosure, eventually leading a homeowner who otherwise legally owns the property into eviction.

In her 2019 report “Water/Color: A Study of Race and the Water Affordability Crisis in America’s Cities,” Montag documents legislation in every state that allows municipalities to place property liens for unpaid utility bills, though “not all states actually do this process,” she says.

Some cities have taken steps during the COVID-19 pandemic to ease the utility bill burden for their residents. “We began to suspend water payments to make it easier for people to have money in their pocket,” Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms said during a Nov. 19 briefing hosted by the Joint Center for Housing Studies of Harvard University.

Ohio State Sen. Sandra Williams in March 2020 proposed legislation that would ban liens for unpaid water bills. “It’s hard to believe that this could be a condition in Ohio in how we relate to our local governments and services providers,” Ohio State Sen. Tim Schaffer said when Williams proposed the bill, according to reporting from News 5 Cleveland. The legislation remains under consideration in the Ohio Senate’s Ways and Means Committee, which reviews tax policy bills.

The Baltimore General Assembly in March 2019 passed legislation banning property liens over water debt. In December 2019, the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund filed suit against the city of Cleveland, alleging liens there have a discriminatory racial impact, with three times as many water liens placed in majority Black neighborhoods compared with white neighborhoods in certain years, Montag says. The suit is ongoing in U.S. district court in northern Ohio.

“Water affordability has become a really important issue demonstrating systemic racial discrimination,” she says. “Back in the 1960s, my organization litigated a case about Black access to water in sewer systems. We’re seeing these same issues that existed more than 50 years ago still exist today.”

Another city known for issuing liens for unpaid water bills? Flint, Michigan.

‘That’s really disturbing’

Flint attracted national media attention in 2014 and 2015 after the city switched its water supply from Lake Huron to the Flint River. Scientists linked bacteria in the river water to an outbreak of Legionnaires’ disease and found dangerously high lead levels after corrosive river water ate into old pipes, as Kettering University political scientist Ben Pauli recalls in “The Flint Water Crisis,” published in March 2020 in WIREs Water.

The city started supplying residents with water from the Flint River while a new pipeline to Lake Huron was built. The Flint water treatment plant wasn’t ready for the switch and its staff didn’t know how to properly treat river water, according to Pauli. Residents subsequently suffered hair loss and rashes, and researchers documented elevated levels of lead and other metals in city water.

Nearly every resident of Flint was exposed to lead, according to the CDC. In the years since, journalists have shown how children in Flint exposed to lead suffered health problems and had trouble learning in school.

“Despite Flint’s water quality issues, its water rates rank among the highest in the United States and residents have faced the threat of water shutoffs and property tax liens for nonpayment of water bills,” Pauli writes.

As filmmaker Kwesi Reynolds documents in a 2017 photo essay in the American Medical Association Journal of Ethics, people in Flint washed their hands using canned water during the height of the crisis.

“Now all of a sudden there’s water distribution centers,” says Reynolds, who was born in Detroit and raised in Flint before moving to Dallas in 2019 for work. “You look at it now, that’s really disturbing. Five years ago in my city, you had to go get bottled water because you could not drink the water from your tap.”

Reynolds’ father, Lawrence Reynolds, a longtime pediatrician in Flint, was a member of the Flint Water Advisory Task Force, which, in 2016, provided recommendations for then-Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder to address the crisis. Since then, the city has replaced more than 9,500 pipes. Flint Mayor Sheldon Neeley has said that lead water service lines in the city would be replaced by Nov. 30. The city has completed nearly all of its home inspections, with about 2,500 households remaining as of August.

“You assume the basic amenities will be taken care of,” Reynolds says. “Water, I think, should be something that everybody should have access to. Water is not a civil right — it should be a human right.”

Millions of Californians say their state is switching to renewable energy sources too quickly, and experts say that its strict and costly new rules on electric cars will price more people out of the Golden State.

Polling from the University of California, Berkeley, has revealed that, while Californians broadly support more wind and solar farms, nearly a third of residents say the switch to green power is taking place ‘too fast.’

Meanwhile, Stanford University experts warn that looming new rules requiring Californians to spend tens of thousands of extra dollars on costly electric vehicles will drive ever more from the state.

California recorded a net loss of 341,866 residents last year, many moving across state lines to Arizona and Texas, which have lower taxes, cheaper homes and looser environmental rules.

Californians are split on the state’s speedy moves against reliance on fossil fuels  

‘As the Golden State’s exorbitant cost of living and strict environmental mandates grow, Californians are hitting the road,’ researchers from the school’s Institute for Economic Policy Research, posted online.

Stanford’s Bruce Cain says California is moving too fast

California is at the vanguard of cutting out fossil fuels, which release planet-heating gasses when burned, producing more than a third of its power from renewables, according to the US Energy Information Administration.

In recent weeks, officials have greenlighted a study into wave and tidal energy potential off the state’s 840-mile coastline, and required more than 5,300 companies to report more details about their carbon dioxide emissions.

Gov Gavin Newsom, a Democrat understood to have ambitions to become US president, also signed a bill to study and plan for solar farms running in the vacant lots alongside the more than 15,000 miles of state highways.

The state has also asked the Biden administration to approve a plan to require all new vehicles sold in the state by 2035 to be either electric or plug-in electric hybrids, speeding the end of gasoline-powered vehicles. 

California’s Democratic Gov Gavin Newsom has long championed renewable energy and electric cars

A poll by Berkley’s Institute of Governmental Studies shows that voters broadly support this switch to the growing number of wind turbines and solar arrays that can be seen across the state.

But that still leaves 29 percent of voters saying the switch from hydrocarbons is happening ‘too fast.’

This is especially true among Republican voters. More than two thirds — 67 percent — say they want the administration of Democratic Gov Gavin Newsom to slow down the move away from fossil fuels.

‘The state’s voters largely back its climate change initiatives, although the partisan differences evident in many other policy areas are also present.’ said the institute’s co-director Eric Schickler.

Older Californians, as well as those living in the Central Valley, the North Coast and the Sierra Nevada mountain range, are more likely than others to use oil, coal, and other carbon fuels for longer, the poll showed.

Stanford scholars Bruce Cain and Preeti Hehmeyer in their new research warn that California’s speedy switch to renewables could be denting the appeal of a state that has in recent years been waving goodbye to residents.

The state’s population grew massively throughout the 20th Century, but peaked in about 2019-2020 and has been slowly declining since, thanks to fewer births and more residents moving out, often for cheaper living in Texas and Arizona.

In their paper, California’s population drain, Cain and Hehmeyer argue that tight environmental rules and the additional costs they place on consumers make one more reason for residents to leave.

Californians already pay over the odds for housing, they say. Making them shell out an average of $640,000 on an EV truck, when the diesel-powered equivalent is just $160,000, could be the last straw for a cash-strapped resident.

‘There is reason to be hopeful that these prices will ultimately come down and that charging infrastructure will eventually catch up, but the intervening years could be rough, and with more population and commercial outflows,’ the eight-page report. 

California voters were keener on EV subsidies than those in Texas or Arizona 

In their survey of more than 3,000 people across Arizona, California and Texas, they found that nearly of voters supported state subsidies for electric cars, another third was opposed.

Californians were significantly keener on EVs than residents of the other states.

The research was released at the same time as new US Census Bureau data revealed that California and New York combined lost nearly 1.4 million residents last year.

Overall, California recorded a net loss of 341,866 people, compared to 244,137 for New York.

Population experts have long studied America’s people flows.

Some explanations for interstate migration patterns are widely accepted.

Americans mostly relocate for better jobs, affordable housing, cheaper living costs, and to lower their tax bills.

America on the move: Texas, Florida, Georgia, and Arizona all counted more arrivals than departures 

Some move away from high crimes areas, homelessness, and the sight of drug addicts stumbling on the sidewalk.

Social problems have been a headache for officials in such cities as San Francisco and Portland.

Still, William Frey, a demographer at The Brookings Institution, a think tank, said Americans mostly hit the road for money.

‘Interstate movers are motivated by employment, housing, and family reasons,’ Frey told DailyMail.com.

The top relocation trends of recent years have seen New Yorkers flock to Florida and Californians choose Texas, he noted.

Oh, to be a fly in the room.

To have a bird’s-eye view of the faces of Malvern Prep’s boys’ water polo team when their head coach, Jay Schiller, convinced his team that, to kick off their 2023 preseason training, they’d be swimming the expanse of the San Francisco Bay, from Alcatraz Island to Aquatic Park, on the shores of San Francisco.

It’s a swim that has been done many times — but it’s not one for the faint of heart. Even in the dog days of August, it involves jumping into the 60-degree waters of the bay, waters that have seen sharks and rays swimming among those brave enough to take the leap. Once in, it’s a nearly 2-mile swim back to shore — against the current.

“This is an awesome challenge and swim work out for our guys,” said Schiller, who, in addition to coaching the water polo team, previously served as the Malvern Prep swim coach for 12 years. “I just felt this would be an awesome team-bonding activity, and it’s a great way to kick off what’s going to be a tough preseason. But we’re also doing it for a great cause, and that I think was what really made our boys rally around the idea.”

The idea was that Malvern Prep’s water polo team would be among a number of others to swim in benefit of Team Hydro, an organization committed to raising awareness of and researching hydrocephalus, a neurological disorder that causes a buildup of cerebrospinal fluid in the brain and can affect children and adults.

Before Schiller convinced his team, though, he himself needed convincing. Enter Peter Finlayson, a longtime supporter of Malvern’s swim program and a cofounder of Team Hydro who has been doing the swim alongside Water World Swim, which oversees the course and its safety.

» READ MORE: Here’s how La Salle water polo gave star player Kalista and her father Tom Hyham a family reunion

Finlayson’s drive in raising awareness and the funds needed for research comes primarily in honor of his sister, Kate, who suffered from hydrocephalus. Despite enduring over 100 brain surgeries, Kate died from complications of hydrocephalus at 26 years old. The Alcatraz swim is the crown jewel of Team Hydro’s fundraising efforts, with a goal of raising $100,000 from the event. This year was Finlayson’s 19th Alcatraz swim — and he wanted Malvern Prep’s water polo team along for the ride.

“I started by telling them about my sister Kate,” Finlayson said of his conversations with Schiller and the team. “She is the reason I do this, and her story, along with personal stories many of our swimmers bring to race day, are meaningful motivators for all of us. We are totally volunteer-run and committed to “zero overhead” — meaning any costs we incur to run the events, someone donates directly. This means every penny we raise goes directly to research. This is our primary fundraiser every year. Without the Alcatraz swim, we couldn’t do what we do.”

Finlayson says he was “upfront about the cold, the currents, and the wildlife,” meaning potential dangers in the water, but Finlayson’s story — and what this swim would mean for Team Hydro — was all the team needed to hear.

“Once we got to learn more about Coach Peter’s situation, I personally saw this as a great honor to participate in this event,” said William Daphtary, a junior on the team. “I’m not going to lie, I was surprised that this is how we were going to start the season, but this is also a great way to strengthen our team bond while creating awareness for hydrocephalus research. One of the missions at our school is to be in support of others, and I couldn’t think of a better way.”

» READ MORE: Ciré Forman wanted to start a sports foundation. After her death at 21, her family is making it a reality.

So what was Finlayson’s message to fuel the group?

“There is nothing like swimming in the open water with Alcatraz behind you, the Golden Gate Bridge to one side, Bay Bridge on the other, and the San Francisco skyline in front of you,” he said. “It is not an easy swim by any means, but it will be wonderful and something they will remember for the rest of their lives.”

Followed by brutal honesty.

“The first minute will be the worst,” Finlayson continued. “You’ll be shocked by the water temperature, and it will take a little bit to get used to being out there. But once you get moving, it gets better. [I told them that] if you ever have a moment of doubt, remembering the 1,000,000 Americans with hydrocephalus for whom you’re swimming — I promise that will give you superpowers.”

The swim took place Saturday under cloudy skies and a bit of fog. With wetsuits and goggles, the team, along with other supporters, took the leap off two boats at the base of historic Alcatraz Island into the cold waters. Everyone participating completed the swim, and, when the dust settled, Team Hydro raised $101,000.

While the event may seem like a daunting task to ask of a high school water polo team, Malvern Prep isn’t an ordinary program. It is among the gold standard of prep water polo programs in the area. Since becoming a varsity sport in 2001, the program has won five league titles and captured the Eastern Prep Water Polo Championship behind a 24-1 record in 2017. The program has also sent a number of players to top Division I programs.

This year, the Alcatraz swim kicked off a seven-day West Coast trip training in pools all over California for up to five hours at a time.

“Yeah, we have a pretty aggressive schedule,” Schiller said. “They have to [arrive to camp in] swimming shape. When you watch water polo, it kind of looks smooth and effortless up top. But underneath, that’s where all the action is. It’s chaotic. The legs are going crazy, and there’s a lot of grabbing going on and wrestling because it is a contact sport. So leg conditioning is crucial, and we’ll be doing that in our first few pool sessions, with this swim to kick it off.”

Schiller paused and added:

“If they’re not in shape from all of this, they will be.”

Sweeping New War On Coal Regulations Announced Today By President Biden’s EPA Will Shutter Power Plants, Drive Up The Cost Of Electricity, And Further Reduce The Electric Grid’s Reliability, All While Relying On Technology And Infrastructure That Don’t Exist Yet And Could Once Again Run Afoul Of The Law

SENATE REPUBLICAN LEADER MITCH McCONNELL (R-KY): “By outsourcing his energy policy to the radical left, President Biden is outsourcing away America’s energy security and independence. Today, the EPA resurrected the devastating climate regulations that liberals have spent more than a decade trying to drop on folks in Kentucky, West Virginia, and the rest of coal country. By imposing unworkable deadlines and unproven technologies not commercially available, this latest version of Democrats’ so-called ‘Clean Power Plan’ poses an existential threat to providers of affordable and reliable American energy. Complying with Washington bureaucrats’ latest wishes requires technology that producers cannot access, costs that they cannot swallow, and pain that lower-income ratepayers cannot stomach. This sequel to a failed Obama-era policy is also the revival of an illegal power grab the judiciary slapped down less than a year ago. The Supreme Court made it clear last April that Congress did not authorize this sort of draconian policy. Then, Democrats tried to give the Administration this sweeping authority as part of their reckless taxing and spending spree, but the provision violated Senate rules and never became law. So now the Biden Administration is trying to ram through the policy unilaterally. The far left is coming back for yet another bite at the apple. The Obama-Biden war on coal has come in many different forms, but the same basic disdain for Middle America keeps showing its face. Democrats’ obsession with Green New Deal social engineering would further compound the pain their historic inflation has already caused. Their agenda is a recipe for soaring energy prices, electricity blackouts, and less national security. Working Americans cannot afford this — and Kentuckians and West Virginians least of all.” (Sen. McConnell, Press Release, 5/11/2023)

SENATE ENVIRONMENT & PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE RANKING MEMBER SHELLEY MOORE CAPITO (R-WV): “The Clean Power Plan 2.0 announced today is the Biden administration’s most blatant attempt yet to close down power plants and kill American energy jobs. The EPA has already tried this illegal overreach, which was ultimately overturned by the Supreme Court, but not before it devastated communities in West Virginia and across the country. Whether it’s through policies like the Inflation Reduction Act or an onslaught of executive branch regulations like those announced today, Americans are well aware that the left continues to wage war on the energy sources that actually power this nation. At a time when millions of Americans are struggling to fill up their tanks and pay their utility bills under President Biden, it’s reprehensible that this administration would clamp down even further on domestic energy production while advancing policies meant to increase demand for electricity. I plan to introduce a Congressional Review Act resolution of disapproval to protect workers and families from the disastrous impacts of these latest job-killing regulations.” (Senate EPW Committee Ranking Member, Press Release, 5/11/2023)

SENATE ENERGY & NATURAL RESOURCES COMMITTEE RANKING MEMBER JOHN BARRASSO (R-WY): “Last year, the Supreme Court threw out the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) overreaching mandates on power plant emissions. The Court rightfully confirmed Congress, not the EPA, has the authority to create environmental policy. Nothing has changed since then to give the unelected and unaccountable bureaucrats at the EPA this authority. The EPA’s new proposed rules would kill jobs in Wyoming and raise energy costs for families across the country. We can protect the environment and unleash clean, affordable, and reliable American energy at the same time.” (Sen. Barrasso, Press Release, 5/11/2023)

The Biden Administration Is Imposing An Immense, Sweeping Regulation On Power Plants That Account For 60% Of Electricity Generation In The United States

“The Biden administration is announcing a climate rule that would require most fossil fuel power plants to slash their greenhouse gas pollution 90 percent between 2035 and 2040 — or shut down. The highly anticipated regulation being unveiled Thursday morning is just the latest step in President Joe Biden’s campaign to green the U.S. economy …” (“Biden Rule Tells Power Plants To Cut Climate Pollution By 90 Percent — Or Shut Down,” Politico, 5/11/2023)

• “The draft power plant rule from the Environmental Protection Agency would break new ground by requiring steep pollution cuts from plants burning coal or natural gas, which together provide the lion’s share of the nation’s electricity. To justify the size of those cuts, the agency says fossil fuel plants could capture their greenhouse gas emissions before they hit the atmosphere — a long-debated technology that no power plant in the U.S. uses now. As an alternative, utilities could hasten their decisions to shut down their aging coal plants …” (“Biden Rule Tells Power Plants To Cut Climate Pollution By 90 Percent — Or Shut Down,” Politico, 5/11/2023)

“[T]he scope of the power plant rule is immense. About 60% of the electricity generated in the U.S. last year came from burning fossil fuels at the nation’s 3,400 coal and gas-fired plants, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.” (“In Major Climate Step, EPA Proposes 1st Limits On Greenhouse Gas Emissions From Power Plants,” The Associated Press, 5/11/2023)

Of Course The Rule Will Raise The Cost Of Generating Power, Meaning Higher Electricity Bills, Which Even The EPA Admits Will Be The Result

“[T]he proposed rules would increase costs for power plant operators …” (“E.P.A. Proposes First Limits on Climate Pollution From Existing Power Plants,” The New York Times, 5/11/2023)

In Advance Of His Reelection Campaign, President Biden Is Rushing To Placate Green New Deal Demands From Climate Zealots To Transform American Energy And The Economy

“The agency has been issuing a raft of new rule proposals just in recent weeks as it attempts to fulfill Biden’s big climate promises before he faces reelection.” (“EPA Plan Would Impose Drastic Cuts On Power Plant Emissions By 2040,” The Washington Post, 4/22/2023)

• “The Biden administration is under pressure to finish this work in a little more than a year, to make it harder to reverse should the president lose reelection.” (The Washington Post, 5/11/2023)

“EPA is rushing to fulfill Biden’s big climate promises before he faces reelection. Last month the agency announced the strictest restrictions ever on emissions for cars and trucks … Later this year, the agency is supposed to finish new limits on the oil and gas industry’s emissions of methane …” (The Washington Post, 5/11/2023)

• “The newest proposal comes as EPA continues along an ambitious regulatory agenda to sharply ramp down the use of oil, natural gas and coal in vehicles and the power sector in order to cut U.S. greenhouse gas emissions in half by 2030. The agency proposed the nation’s strongest-ever limits on cars and trucks’ greenhouse gas pollution [in April], with the goal of spurring a huge surge in sales of electric vehicles.” (“Biden’s Newest Big Climate Rule Will Rest On Rarely Used Technology,” Politico, 4/24/2023)

NATIONAL MINING ASSOCIATION: “Each one of the rules coming from the Biden administration’s EPA is designed to make it impossible for states and utilities to make decisions based on the merits of what keeps the lights on and electricity inflation low, forcing them to make decisions solely based on the EPA’s desire to end coal powered generation in the United States. The coal fleet continues to perform an outsized role in many states and communities, providing dispatchable fuel diversity and security, and ramping up power supply during periods of surging demand when other sources of power cannot. EPA’s indifference to the repercussions of its decisions on our ability to provide reliable, affordable electricity to Americans is simply reckless especially when other federal officials are calling it a crisis.” (National Mining Association, Press Release, 5/10/2023)

At A Time When Demand For Electricity Is Soaring, The New EPA Rule Will Harm The Reliability Of America’s Electric Grid By Forcing More Power Plants To Shutter

Electricity Use Has Climbed 73% In The Last Four Decades While ‘Widespread Power Outages Have Surged’ In Recent Years

“Carbon emissions from the U.S. power sector are at the same level as in 1984, while electricity use has climbed 73% since then, [Edison Electric Institute President Tom] Kuhn said.” (“In Major Climate Step, EPA Proposes 1st Limits On Greenhouse Gas Emissions From Power Plants,” The Associated Press, 5/11/2023)

“[W]ith that new type of demand for electricity surging, it will put more stress on a grid that has struggled in recent years. Widespread power outages have surged, especially from snowstorms, hurricanes and wildfires. From 2017 to 2021, electricity customers nationwide spent seven hours a year without power, according to data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration, up from less than four hours a year from 2013 to 2016.” (The Washington Post, 5/11/2023)

“The Electric Power Supply Association, an industry trade group representing power suppliers, said the new rules come as rising demand, retirements of existing generating units and changing weather patterns are stressing the nation’s electric grid. ‘Aspirational policy is getting ahead of operational reality,’ said EPSA President and Chief Executive Todd Snitchler. ‘If finalized, these aggressive rules will undoubtedly drive up energy costs and lead to a substantial number of power plant retirements.’” (“Biden Administration Targets Power-Plant Emissions in New Climate Initiative,” The Wall Street Journal, 5/11/2023)

But The Biden Rule Will Force Even More Power Plant Shut Downs

“Critics also argue the regulations will force coal and gas-fired power plants to shut down and leave the grid vulnerable to blackouts.” (NPR, 5/11/2023)

“Even if courts nix the upcoming EPA rules, their mere existence could prod utilities to shutter existing natural gas power plants depending on how the agency designs the regulations, said Todd Snitchler, president of the Electric Power Supply Association, a trade group that represents power generators.” (“Biden’s Big Bet To Take On Coal Power,” Politico, 4/26/2023)

Just Last Week, Every Single FERC Commissioner Agreed That Removing Coal Generation Would Make America’s Electric Grid Unreliable

SEN. JOE MANCHIN (D-WV), Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee Chairman: “[I]n today’s world and what you all talked about, the energy and the grid system and all that, do any of you believe that it’s possible to eliminate coal today or in the near future and be able to maintain a reliable or a somewhat reliable system? Is coal intricately irreplaceable at this point in time? Chairman Phillips?”
FERC CHAIRMAN WILLIE PHILLIPS: “Senator, we’ve talked about this before, I believe in an all of the above approach. Whatever resources are needed to keep our grid reliable, we have to make sure that they are available.”
…
SEN. MANCHIN: “So if you pulled [coal] off [the energy grid] right now would it give you the certainty that the system would give you the reliability you needed?”
PHILLIPS: “It would not.”
MANCHIN: “Okay. Commissioner Danly?”
FERC COMMISSIONER JAMES DANLY: “Thank you. No, as things stand, coal is required. It makes up—I don’t know, just under a quarter of all the installed capacity in America and if it were—it would be impossible given the locations and the realities of the electric system to replace it.”
SEN. MANCHIN: “Commissioner Clements?”
FERC COMMISSIONER ALLISON CLEMENTS: “Right now, today, no.”
FERC COMMISSIONER MARK CHRISTIE: “Coal is more dependable than gas. And yes, we need to keep coal generation available for the foreseeable future.” (U.S. Senate Energy & Natural Resources Committee Hearing, 5/04/2023)

‘It Is Just The Latest Instance Of EPA Failing To Prioritize Reliable Electricity’

NATIONAL RURAL ELECTRIC COOPERATIVE ASSOCIATION (NRECA) CEO JIM MATHESON: “This proposal will further strain America’s electric grid and undermine decades of work to reliably keep the lights on across the nation. And it is just the latest instance of EPA failing to prioritize reliable electricity as a fundamental expectation of American consumers. We’re concerned the proposal could disrupt domestic energy security, force critical always available power plants into early retirement, and make new natural gas plants exceedingly difficult to permit, site, and build.” (National Rural Electric Cooperative Association, Press Release, 5/11/2023)

• MATHESON: “Nine states experienced rolling blackouts last December as the demand for electricity exceeded the available supply. Those situations will become even more frequent if EPA continues to craft rules without any apparent consideration of impacts on electric grid reliability. American families and businesses rightfully expect the lights to stay on at a price they can afford. EPA needs to recognize the impact this proposal will have on the future of reliable energy before it’s too late.” (National Rural Electric Cooperative Association, Press Release, 5/11/2023)

Incredibly, The New EPA Rule Relies On Technology That Is Prohibitively Expensive And In Use Almost Nowhere, And On Infrastructure That Doesn’t Currently Exist

“President Joe Biden’s newest bid to cut the nation’s climate pollution relies on a series of big bets. The upcoming rule from the Environmental Protection Agency is expected to depend on rarely used technology for capturing power plants’ greenhouse gas pollution…. [C]arbon-capturing technology is not yet in place in any active commercial power plant in the U.S., and industry groups argue it’s not ready for wide deployment.” (“Biden’s Big Bet To Take On Coal Power,” Politico, 4/26/2023)

“[Q]uestions remain about whether the technology can be deployed quickly and affordably enough at the nation’s thousands of coal- and gas-burning plants. Carbon capture ran into hurdles and huge cost overruns when power plants tried to use it during the past two decades. And capturing CO2 from plants burning natural gas — a growing part of the electricity mix — poses higher cost challenges than many other pollution sources.” (Politico, 5/11/2023)

Only Two Power Plants In All Of North America Have Installed Carbon Capture Technologies

“Only two commercial-scale coal-fired power plants in North America have installed carbon capture technologies: Petra Nova in Texas and Boundary Dam in Saskatchewan, Canada. Both projects experienced cost overruns and performance issues that caused them to miss their targets …” (“Biden’s Big Bet To Take On Coal Power,” Politico, 4/26/2023)

• “In fact, only one power plant in the world is using carbon capture at scale: the Boundary Dam Power Station near Estevan in Saskatchewan, Canada — just over the North Dakota border.” (Politico, 5/11/2023)

• “In the U.S., only one power plant has ever captured carbon dioxide at scale: the W.A. Parish Generating Station near Houston, which is the site of the Petra Nova project…. Otherwise, the U.S. has more than a dozen proposed carbon capture projects at power plants — including several with a target start date before 2030 — but none have moved to construction, according to the [Global CCS Institute].” (Politico, 5/11/2023)

The Technology Is So Expensive, More Carbon Capture Projects Have Shuttered Than Are Up And Running, While The Existing Ones Have Suffered From Massive Cost Overruns

“Many other attempts in the U.S. to install carbon capture in the power sector failed in the past 15 years, dating back to a 2011 project by American Electric Power Co. in West Virginia called Mountaineer that sought to capture CO2 from a large coal plant. Other failed projects include Southern Co.’s Kemper project, the Texas Clean Energy Project and FutureGen 2.0, which envisioned a low-emissions large coal plant in Illinois.” (Politico, 5/11/2023)

• “The Petra Nova project ran up a roughly $1 billion tab, including nearly $200 million in federal money. The Kemper project’s cost projection skyrocketed to $7.5 billion before the plant switched to natural gas without carbon capture, according to one analysis.” (Politico, 5/11/2023)

“The reason for this project graveyard is relatively simple: CCS is expensive … The challenge for carbon capture developers has been that capturing the CO2 is just the start of the costs. Then comes the expense of transporting the greenhouse gas — typically through a pipeline — to wherever it will be either stored or used. In the power sector, many utilities have cheaper options for electricity.” (Politico, 5/11/2023)

“[E]lectric utilities have complained that any policy that forces them to install carbon capture technology would be far too expensive, driving up energy costs for consumers. A 2021 report by a group of 600 global investors, including BlackRock, State Street Global Advisors and other top shareholders of U.S. investor-owned utilities, said the high costs of carbon capture ‘make it a risky and potentially expensive decarbonization strategy.’” (“E.P.A. to Propose First Controls on Greenhouse Gases From Power Plants,” The New York Times, 4/22/2023)

And Carbon Capture Requires ‘Miles Of Pipeline’ That Don’t Exist And Which Democrats And Environmental Lobbyists Have Made Incredibly Difficult To Build

“Still, a utility industry source said that even if [federal] subsidies bring the costs down, there’s no escaping the fact that there’s little existing pipeline and storage infrastructure for captured carbon in the US.” (CNN, 5/11/2023)

“Operators of many coal-fired plants would need to build miles of pipeline to transport their captured carbon dioxide to storage sites, at a time when Congress has been unable to agree on permitting changes that could speed up such projects. Republicans have also criticized EPA’s slow pace of processing applications for carbon storage wells around the U.S.” (“Biden Rule Tells Power Plants To Cut Climate Pollution By 90 Percent — Or Shut Down,” Politico, 5/11/2023)

Just Last Year, The Supreme Court Reined In The EPA’s Overreach On Regulating Power Plant Emissions And The New Rule Could Already Be On Shaky Legal Ground

“The Supreme Court has loomed over the effort. It ruled last year that the EPA during the Obama administration had exceeded its authority by building the first attempt at such regulations around a new system to push power companies to switch fuels across their fleets, and replace coal with cleaner options.” (“EPA Plan Would Impose Drastic Cuts On Power Plant Emissions By 2040,” The Washington Post, 4/22/2023)

“Less than a year after the Supreme Court settled one battle over EPA’s climate authority, the Biden administration is teeing up round two. EPA is expected to soon propose the strongest-ever restrictions on greenhouse gas emissions from fossil-fuel-fired power plants … The regulation would follow the Obama administration’s signature 2015 Clean Power Plan, which the Supreme Court ruled out of bounds 10 months ago using the ‘major questions’ doctrine, a legal theory that says Congress must explicitly authorize agencies to regulate significant issues …” (“Biden Plans New EPA Power Plant Rule. Will SCOTUS Kill It?,” E&E News, 4/24/2023)

“Jeff Holmstead, who ran EPA’s air office under George W. Bush and is now an attorney at the firm Bracewell, said the rule appears to have ‘serious legal vulnerabilities.’ He pointed to the dearth of carbon capture and storage projects operating in the U.S. ‘I don’t think it would be that hard to say, ‘look, this technology hasn’t been adequately demonstrated yet,’’ Holmstead said.” (“Biden Rule Tells Power Plants To Cut Climate Pollution By 90 Percent — Or Shut Down,” Politico, 5/11/2023)

• “[C]arbon-capturing technology is not yet in place in any active commercial power plant in the U.S., and industry groups argue it’s not ready for wide deployment. That could make the EPA proposal especially vulnerable in the courts, because the Clean Air Act requires the agency to show that the technologies it proposes are ‘adequately demonstrated’ — not something that might work in the future.” (“Biden’s Big Bet To Take On Coal Power,” Politico, 4/26/2023)

• “Only two commercial-scale coal-fired power plants in North America have installed carbon capture technologies … Both projects experienced cost overruns and performance issues that caused them to miss their targets … That means the technology flunks the Clean Air Act’s ‘adequately demonstrated’ test, Bracewell attorney Scott Segal argued.” (“Biden’s Big Bet To Take On Coal Power,” Politico, 4/26/2023)

Microplastics are tiny, often unobtrusive pieces of plastic that are ubiquitous — they’re in our streets, in the air we breathe, in our streams and oceans, in the food we eat and in the water we drink.

They’re smaller than a pencil eraser, but harmful enough that organizations spend millions of dollars trying to stop their spread.

Last week, the City of Santa Barbara Department of Sustainability and Resilience announced that $1.26 million was awarded to the City of Creek Department in partnership with the University of Southern California Sea Grant Program to conduct research into pollution from fund microplastics.

“The Creeks Division’s research to reduce the amount of microplastics reaching our streams and oceans complements the city’s ongoing efforts to reduce the impact of single-use plastics in Santa Barbara,” said Alelia Parenteau, director of sustainability and resilience.

According to Kacey Drescher, the city’s communications specialist, microplastics “can absorb and transport pollutants, leach harmful chemicals into the water and are often mistaken for food by wildlife.” They are often the product of larger plastic products that have been broken down into smaller and smaller pieces by the sun, wind and waves.

Fieldwork will take place in the city of Santa Barbara, as well as in San Francisco and Los Angeles, to measure the impact of street sweepers and trash collectors on microplastic debris in stormwater runoff, which carries the majority of microplastic pollution into the ocean.

The Clean Streets, Clean Seas: Innovating Public Works to Intercept Microplastics in Urban Runoff project will provide the first measured and reported results on the potential impact of urban street cleaning on microplastic pollution reduction.

“This project will determine how microplastics can be removed from sealed urban surfaces as quickly as possible, and from as many acres as possible, as far as possible to protect our streams, estuaries and oceans from harmful pollution,” said Jill Murray, water quality research analyst of the Creeks Division.

The work is being conducted in collaboration with the City of Santa Barbara, the University of California Santa Barbara, the San Francisco Estuary Institute, the Southern California Coastal Water Research Project, the Moore Institute for Plastic Pollution Research, WSP USA and Cascade Water Resources.

The $1.26 million is part of a larger $27 million funding effort from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to address the prevention and removal of debris in marine environments and around the Great Lakes nationwide.

Clean Streets, Clean Seas is one of 29 projects selected in the competition through two opportunities supported by the bipartisan Infrastructure Act and utilizing funds from the Inflation Reduction Act: The Marine Debris Challenge Competition and the Marine Debris Community Action Coalitions.

The Department of Sustainability and Resilience will present the item to City Council for acceptance of grant funding in August.
