Can the city known for oil & gas become the center of clean energy?
In this powerhouse episode, we meet Jane Stricker, SVP of Energy Transition at the Greater Houston Partnership and Executive Director of HETI (Houston Energy Transition Initiative). Jane shares a front-row view of Houston’s bold strategy to stay the energy capital of the world – not just in oil, but in all forms of energy.
"Having access to those big facilities to start to pilot new technologies and test them in places where they can actually see how they work at scale... there's an opportunity for you to explore that and to grow that in Houston." – Jane Stricker
Jane breaks down how Houston is scaling clean tech faster than ever before, attracting startups and corporate giants alike, and why over $95 billion has already been invested by local companies into low-carbon technologies.
You’ll hear how the city’s industrial infrastructure, diverse workforce, and “speed-to-market” culture are giving it an edge in a global race for clean energy dominance.
Expect to learn:
🔹 Why 9 new clean energy factories have launched in Greater Houston
🔹 How “molecules + electrons” define Houston’s unique approach
🔹 The talent pipeline fueling both fossil and renewable energy growth
🔹 The economic case for more energy + fewer emissions
If you think Houston’s stuck in the past, think again.
Do you believe Houston can keep it’s “Energy Capital of the World” moniker as Clean Energy takes the lead?
