The need for expanded nuclear energy is urgent. Global energy demand is expected to grow by at least 50% by 2035, with electric demand in the developing world expected to triple.
Presently, more than one billion people completely lack electricity access and billions more consume one tenth or less of the electricity per capita consumed in the OECD. Much of that supply is intermittent.
At the same time, 81% of the world’s energy, and two thirds of the world’s electricity, is derived from fossil fuels, while emissions from fossil fuel combustion are a major factor driving global climate change.

Energy policy is water policy - v.04
1. Energy Policy
is Water Policy
Brian Gongol, M.Ed.
DJ Gongol & Associates, Inc.
Nebraska Section AWWA Fall Conference
Kearney, Nebraska
November 2, 2023
2. Water is in a perpetual battle for
resources, attention, and respect
• This does not come
naturally to most
• That does not make
it any less important
to engage
4. Energy has a huge "mind share" with
the public right now
Everyone has an opinion on things like electric cars, solar panels, or
wind turbines
We should take advantage
10. Water utilities don’t have that kind of
liberty
• If you're pumping at 85% hydraulic efficiency on a NEMA
Premium Efficiency motor that's 90% to 95% efficient1, you
just don't have much upside left to capture
11. Water utilities don’t have that kind of
liberty
Strict energy efficiency is often a bad engineering design objective
To be reliable resources, we need to achieve total system efficiency
For example: More vanes mean higher efficiency in a pump, but
that's no good if you're trying to move solids without clogging
15. Power demands
lots of water
• The power-production
sector is the largest water
user in the country
• It’s even ahead of irrigation
• Source data:
https://www.usgs.gov/speci
al-topics/water-science-
school/science/total-water-
use-united-states
16. Water demands lots of power
• Second, water and wastewater treatment and pumping are
usually the biggest users of electricity for most municipal
governments, “often accounting for 30 to 40 percent of total
energy consumed”
• That’s
• Source data: https://www.epa.gov/sustainable-water-
infrastructure/energy-efficiency-water-utilities
17. Demand for energy could well
skyrocket
Meeting future expectations for water and wastewater purification
will require substantial amounts of electricity
Particularly if we are to be responsible for removing PFAS to the
parts-per-trillion level
18. Energy could be a bonanza
• It is evident that virtually all of our problems -- from
pumping to treatment -- can be solved if energy can be
made clean, abundant, and super-cheap (much cheaper than
it is today).
19. Where we go from here
• We live at the intersection of these different interests
• The future of water policy lies wherever the future of energy
policy ultimately takes us
28. If you don't have to go far,
you generally won't use much power
29. If you don't have to transform the water
much, you won't use much power either
30. Life comes at you fast
• If you have to go longer distances for longer times, or if you
have to put the water through bigger transitions (which
almost always involve lifting, heating, or pushing through
resistance), then the power demand escalates quickly
31. Power demand dynamics
You already know this implicitly, even if you probably don't realize it
You can carry a 16-oz. bottle of water a short distance without even thinking
about it
You can carry it a long distance without much complaint, either
But if you had to carry two gallons up 20 flights of stairs, you'd feel pain in a hurry
50. Bottom line
• It is enormously in the best interests of the water sector to
see electricity generation increase, costs plummet, and
pollution drive ever closer to zero
• Water professionals need to be seen as vital and equal
stakeholders in energy policy-making
