Potential Electric Grid Emergency, New License Plates Tracking, and Tarantulas!?

There’s a lot going on in the city so host Raheel Ramzanali is calling on Houston Press reporter Faith Bugenhagen to help him break down some of the biggest stories. They start by talking about a new trend in offices where some workers don’t feel comfortable performing a simple task. Then they get to ERCOT’s latest report on summer energy usage and how budget season is impacting Harris County. They’re also spending time on HPD’s new cameras that scan license plates, a creepy crawler that’s migrating through our city, and more!
