    What is on the Horizon for Energy in the 86th Legislature? 
    Where does the competitive electric market go from here? Will ERCOT continue to be an attraction to non-ERCOT portions of Texas? What is the appetite to implement new cybersecurity measures, and are additional customer protections necessary? Will imminent domain and condemnation rights come under examination, again? Is horizontal drilling still a darling or does it create new sets of regulatory challenges? Will crude and natural gas exports from Texas continue to grow? Will the energy reforms in Mexico remain a factor in Texas, or will they be stifled? So many questions await in 2019.

    The Ethics of Oil and Gas Negotiations: Are There Any?
    Sure, we all negotiate every day and we never intentionally mislead the other side — well, maybe we puff a bit, but that's OK, isn't it? That’s how the game is played, correct? And certainly there’s nothing inherently unethical about the negotiation process, right? Wait — are you sure that the answers to those questions are as clear cut as they seem? Nationally-renowned speaker Mike Rubin, with his unique blend of scholarship and humor, and with one of the most unusual multi-media presentations you’ll ever see, will challenge your thinking, raise issues to ponder, and give you something to smile about.
