Data centers and heat (June 23, 2026)
Published 2 weeks, 3 days ago
Description
On Tuesday's show: A Tesla crashed into a Katy home on Friday, killing a 76-year-old woman. The driver told police the vehicle was in an automated driving mode. While no criminal charges have yet to be filed in the case, a legal expert discusses the liability questions that stem from incidents involving such vehicles.
Also this hour: We’ve heard a lot about the toll large data centers might take on water and energy demand in Texas. But how might they also affect the weather and climate around them -- including here in Houston?
Then, experts talk about efforts in Texas to combat the New World screwworm and how to deal with it and other unwanted pests and invasive species in our environment.
And, ahead of the Houston Punk Fest June 26-27, we revisit a conversation from 2025 paying homage to the Houston bands that made up the Texas punk rock scene of the '70s and '80s.
