Ep. 87 - Dr. Raymond Robertson (Economist)

Episode 91 Published 7 months, 3 weeks ago
Description

Economist Dr. Raymond Robertson joins host Brad Swail on Texas Talks to explain a surprising discovery: the United States actually imports plastic waste — and how tariffs, recycling incentives, and Texas-style solutions could change that. Robertson, Director of the Mosbacher Institute at the Bush School of Government and Public Service, breaks down how a simple deposit-refund system could clean up our lakes, create jobs, and save millions, while reviving the “Don’t Mess With Texas” spirit for a new generation.
