Yet every day, power plants in the United States withdraw over 214 billion gallons from U.S. water bodies to cool their facilities, and kill billions of fish and aquatic creatures in the process. This is largely caused by once-through cooling, an antiquated cooling technology still in use at many old power plants. In contrast, closed-cycle cooling systems, which the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) considers BTA for new plants, recirculate most of the water after dispersing heat in a cooling tower, reducing fish kills by 95 percent.  </p><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal">The Supreme Court will rule on whether or not the EPA is authorized to compare costs with benefits in determining BTA for the cooling water intake structures of existing power plants.</p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"> </p><p class="MsoNoSpacing">Riverkeeper is an independent member-supported environmental organization.
