Do you have many wind farms in your area, Terrel? There are quite a few turbines in the southern half of my county. When farmland sells with wind turbines, the turbines add little if any value in this area. Despite whatever assurances there are in these wind contracts, people are still uneasy about what exactly is going to happen when they need to come down.
My grandmothers hundred-year-old windmill still worked.
It's that green, cutting-edge technology.
None that function. Leases were taken but the wind boys couldn't find a place that generates enough wind year around. The gens are mostly west of Tulsa and into central Kansas and points west. We do have a lot of small solar farms and they will face the same issue as the panels are damaged by storms and deteriorate with age.
Power companies don't care. Gov't subsidies (taxpayers) mostly paid for the bird choppers. If a few (windmills) meet an untimely demise...no big deal.
Until they retire the farm, declare bankruptcy and leave you with a bird-smashing Eco-crucifix with 100 tons of steel and concrete to mow around for the eons.
