## Resource

In this month's news episode, we cover four stories shaping the world of energy and mineral rights right now. From rising oil prices driven by U.S.-Iran nuclear tensions, to the federal government's push to keep aging coal and gas plants running longer than planned, to a Texas family trying something completely new to sell their mineral rights through a sweepstakes — there's no shortage of developments with real implications for royalty owners. As always, we wrap up with the latest Baker Hughes rig count. Check out the articles and resources mentioned in this episode at mineralrightspodcast.com .
