Join Andrew Novotny, former CEO of Calpine and Rice MBA '06, for a moderated fireside chat with James Weston, Deputy Dean of Academic Affairs, exploring how the energy industry is evolving to deliver reliable, affordable, and cleaner power while meeting the needs of an AI-driven economy. The conversation will conclude with audience Q&A.
