New EPA rules aimed at cutting carbon emissions are expected to be unveiled June 2nd. It’s a big deal.

At least that’s the hope of both the coal industry and some environmental groups. Marfa Public Radio’s Lorne Matalon has this report for ‘Inside Energy’ on a clean coal project in west Texas---one of two in the country.

The newly discovered abundance of domestic oil and gas is creating a

shortage of something else-- the petroleum engineers who regulate drilling activities.
