In this week\u2019s episode, host Daniel Raimi talks with Bobby Tudor, the chair of the Houston Energy Transition Initiative and the founder and former CEO of the Houston-based investment and merchant bank Tudor, Pickering, Holt & Co. In his new role with the Houston Energy Transition Initiative, Tudor focuses on how Houston can take the lead in the energy transition away from fossil fuels. He and Raimi talk about the history of Houston, how oil and gas came to play such a big part in the city\u2019s economy, the strengths that the current energy incumbents can leverage in a transition to net-zero emissions, what Houston\u2019s economy might look like in 20 or 30 years, and what roadblocks could stand in the way.\n\nReferences and recommendations:\n\n\u201cHow to Avoid a Climate Disaster\u201d by Bill Gates; https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/633968/how-to-avoid-a-climate-disaster-by-bill-gates/\n\n\u201cOnce-Oil-Dependent Texas Economy to Keep Growing as Renewable Energy Expands\u201d by Christopher Slijk and Keith R.
