On Tuesday's show: State regulators have approved a request from CenterPoint Energy to bill taxpayers $2.9 billion to strengthen the Houston-area power grid against extreme weather. We learn details of the company's “resiliency plan” from Claire Hao of the Houston Chronicle.
Also this hour: Beyond extreme weather, flooding, or climate change, the next big environmental challenge facing Texas might actually be under our feet. We learn why some of Houston’s booming suburbs are literally sinking and discuss what can be done to stop it.
Then, this month’s edition of The Bigger Picture examines what the new adaptation of Stephen King's The Running Man has to say about media shaping narratives.
And Houston writer Kathryn Haueisen, herself a descendant of Mayflower pilgrims, explains what we often get wrong about the history of the first Thanksgiving. Her historical fiction novel, Mayflower Chronicles – The Tale of Two Cultures was an attempt to shed some light on those misconceptions.
