On the show Thursday: A new report looks at the potential for geothermal energy development in Texas.

Also at this hour: why some older Houstonians continue to work past traditional retirement age.

Then: we reflect on the lessons learned 30 years after the deadly siege of the Branch Davidian settlement near Waco with writer Jeff Guinn. His new book “Wako: David Koresh, Branch of David” and “Legacy of Fury” provides new information about government officials’ attempts to cover up what took place during the deadly raid and the 51-day standoff and establishes a direct link between these events and some extremism. that we see in America today. Guinn will be at the Houston “Murder by the Book” event on January 31st.

And this week, I See You with Eddie Robinson explores the state of prisons in the southern United States with Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Bill Keller. He is the former executive editor of The New York Times and founding editor of The Marshall Project. His book on the subject is called What Is Prison For?
