    • Part One: Can Texas Drought-Proof Its Economic Miracle?

      Part One: Can Texas Drought-Proof Its Economic Miracle?
      Feb 5 2026
      Everything’s bigger in Texas, including a water crisis. According to the Texas Water Development Board, population and industrial demand could outpace existing supply by 7 million acre-feet by 2070—an amount equal to the current annual water demand of the entire state of Arizona. Last November, Texas voters approved the largest investment in water infrastructure in the state’s history: $20 billion over 20 years. But is this enough to address current needs and ongoing rapid growth? In the first part of our series on how present choices in water, energy and growth will shape the future in Texas, we’ll explore: How cities like Corpus Christi are facing impossible trade-offs between the needs of industry and residents Why a 100-year-old “Rule of Capture” is sparking battles over groundwater exports - Whether Texas can balance its booming $2.7 trillion economy with the inescapable realities of water constraints Why is this relevant for the Ten Across region and the NationThis episode features conversations with Texas State hydrologist Robert Mace, Texas 2036 policy director Jeremy Mazur, and real estate broker and water law professor Charles Porter.

During the 88th Texas Legislature, he supported policy expanding Texas’s financial strategy for developing water infrastructure, establishing regulatory frameworks for hydrogen energy, and, among other initiatives, incentivizing regional solutions for water utilities. He is currently leading a scenario-based assessment of how different energy portfolio pathways contribute to state economic growth, regional water market development, and responses to extreme weather. Charles Porter is a leading Texas water rights authority, real estate broker and author of multiple books including Water Rights and Policies in the United States. He serves on the National Association of Realtors Board of Directors, has testified as expert witness over 600 times, and successfully sponsored legislation requiring groundwater conservation district disclosure in all Texas residential real estate transactions.

    • SERIES TRAILER | Artificial Limits: Water, Energy, and Growth in Texas

      SERIES TRAILER | Artificial Limits: Water, Energy, and Growth in Texas
      Jan 30 2026
      Ten Across Conversations returns next week with a limited series, a three-part narrative look at key intersections of water and energy in Texas.

      What does a severe statewide drought, ambitious industry buildout, and rapid population boom tell us about the future in this part of the country and beyond?

      Join us over the next three episodes as we take you from the halls of the Texas legislature, where policymakers are working to secure vulnerable infrastructure and resources across the state, to the Big Country and west where residents watch the land transform into colossal data centers feeding the race to support AI.

      We will explore how these stories connect—how decisions made in the Oval Office are reshaping Texas water, energy and infrastructure policy, how people are navigating changes, and how decisions made here reflect the interests of the Ten Across region and the country at large. Episode one is available February 5th.

      Series release schedule

      February 5th: A look at Texas’s efforts to drought-proof economic and population growth

      February 19th: Meeting direct and indirect water needs tied to data centers

      March 5th: Big tech demands are reshaping the Texas grid and energy landscape

      March 19th: A regional analysis of water, energy, and the future of tech along the I-10

    • 2025 Ten Across Podcast Year in Review

      2025 Ten Across Podcast Year in Review
      Dec 19 2025
      This 2025 Ten Across podcast year in review takes a deep dive into the critical issues shaping the future of the Interstate 10 corridor.

      We’ve curated a series of interview clips and reflections that will examine contemporary U.S. climate, economic, and governance-related concerns as presented along this transect. From rising risks in insurance markets to the shifting responsibilities for disaster recovery, we’ll examine the urgent need for proactive solutions.

      Some of the key questions we tackle include:

      Can insurance remain affordable and accessible in an era of escalating climate risks?
      As disaster recovery moves to state and local levels, do these agencies have the capacity to handle increasing demands?
      On the twentieth anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, what lesson have we learned and how are they shaping our adaptation efforts today?

      Tune in for a thought-provoking recap and discussion that offers valuable insights into how we can better prepare for and mitigate the impacts of climate change.
