Looks like people in OK are getting fed up with giant windmills. I know if they offered to put one on my land, I'd decline.

for the money they pay you to put one on your land they could put some on my "land"

There is a proposed 7500 acre solar farm planned for some land right next to Lake Nacogdoches. It snuck up on most locals and now they are trying to find out the +s and -s of having one in our area. I guess more will come out, but I think they had the land leased before most locals even knew what a solar farm was. Should be interesting.

They have a reputation for being a little sneaky on their leases. Here's a case where it caught up to them:

no
1 person made a comment that wildfires cleaned debris up & were neccesary
i agreed
& asked him if he thought okra fired a laser beam like she was accused of in Maui
somebody deleted 4 of my post to change the narrative
i did say my friend (of 50 years) was relieved when it was over
he lost his home also

It's offensive to the eye. Ruins places.

There is a little town west of Cisco where a bunch of them have been sitting and not turning.
I never understood why those are like that but all the others in the area seem to be doing their thing.
They are on the north side of I20. Putnam is the town, I think.

A big line of them is being constructed from just south of Moran down HWY 6. Part of the ranch I hunt was recently sold to them.

Just be sure you don't pick up the protected ones, the Hawks and Eagles.
Since we are killing off the birds of prey with wind turbines, can we go back to using Mirex for Fire Ants and DDT?

I heard yesterday that they are planning on putting them between the two lakes they have built up by Honey Grove. Hop probably knows about these.

Saw a mess of them on our way to Colorado last week through the panhandle. Talk about an eye sore...
