Financialization is meta level to water rights.
Predatory Capitalists will certainly buy up as many TX water rights as available,
then extract exorbitant water prices.

Capitalists intend to own/privatize everything necessary to life as the expand the rentier society to which USA has degraded
Pro-business hole TX run by bag Repugs will let the Capitalists run free.
Call it Green, don’t ever refer to it as practical. If it elicits any thoughts of saving trees you got the red team’s attention... knee jerk to communist plot.
lookie, Japanese commies!
https://www.politico.com/news/2020/1...-change-450447Japan aims to eliminate gasoline-powered vehicles in about 15 years, the government said Friday in a plan to achieve Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga’s ambitious pledge to go carbon free by 2050 and generate nearly $2 trillion growth in green business and investment.
The “green growth strategy” urges utilities to bolster renewables and hydrogen while calling for auto industries to go carbon free by the mid-2030s.

Manchin has reasons to big on green infrastructure
Eyup. No doubt coal will be powering more in some places more than others.
Unfortunately for your brainwashed nazi ass, data for the wider country is available, as is a schedule of retirement of coal plants.
How many new coal plants are planned in the US in the next 10 years, dishonest ?
20 years?
Why do you go for the cheap shot lies? Are you purposefully trying to set up softballs for me to swat?
But hey, if you want to play the local game, let's do that.

Whatever.
Corporate Merger Aims to Build a Water Privatization Giant
Veolia and Suez plan a $15.4 billion deal that would create the largest private water firm in the world.https://prospect.org/environment/cor...t-veolia-suez/The Biden administration’s proposed mul rillion-dollar infrastructure package will give states and municipalities plentiful resources to rebuild their physical environments. But it also serves as a target for financiers, privatizers, and monopolists, who see a large pot of funding in front of them, ready for snatching. That’s one context for the $15.4 billion merger announced Monday between Suez and Veolia, two French firms that happen to be the largest water corporations in the world.
I am not the first person to notice that we are beginning this century in much the same manner as the last: being raked over the coals by monopolies.
One of those two companies in a South American country had customers with no water out of the pipes, and bullying the customers to pay their water bills anyway.
Water, electricity, Internet, money should all be public goods, the common good, and not exploited by Capitalists
But we all know the Capitalism is so much more powerful that compromised govts, that we are ed out of wealth forever and stuck with ty, expensive from Capitalists.
fancy word for that:
Resource asymetry.

"adding nutrients without addressing water quality issues" is a slick turn of phrase that makes the two things sound almost unrelated.
https://iowacapitaldispatch.com/2021...st-endangered/Des Moines Water Works will face a “catastrophe” unless Iowa finds a way to reduce farm pollution in the Raccoon River, which on Tuesday was named as one of the nation’s most endangered, the utility’s CEO said.
“It is clear, given the ammonia, phosphorus, and thousands of pounds of nitrogen that flow past our treatment plant, that adding any more nutrients to our watershed without addressing the water quality issues is going to lead to catastrophe,” Ted Corrigan said in an interview.
Corrigan made the comments as the national environmental nonprofit American Rivers added the Raccoon River to its annual list of the nation’s 10 most endangered list at No. 9. The Raccoon faces heavy pollution both from large-scale crop and livestock operations, American Rivers reported.
Biden to pledge to cut emissions in half by 2030
https://apnews.com/article/politics-...2e61f23d0ba4b9President Joe Biden will pledge to cut U.S. greenhouse gas emissions at least in half by 2030 as he convenes a virtual climate summit with 40 world leaders, according to three people with knowledge of the White House plans.
The 50% target would nearly double the nation’s previous commitment and help the Biden administration prod other countries for ambitious emissions cuts as well. The proposal would require dramatic changes in the power and transportation sectors, including significant increases in renewable energy such as wind and solar power and steep cuts in emissions from fossil fuels such as coal and oil.
The nonbinding but symbolically important pledge is a key element of the two-day summit, which begins Thursday as world leaders gather online to share strategies to combat climate change.

how much are emissions from charging up a car off a grid that contains some coal plants vs filling up a car with gas?
would probably be good to know.
even though there already are studies on this which take that into account, and still hold that electric cars cut emissions in half, even accounting for the production of those vehicles and their batteries. and of course, nothing stops us from trying to change the sources that power any given grid to be more green
