[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3268110, member: 5412"] [COLOR=#ffffff]Wind power is a joke. I worked for OG&E for years and watched them online while generating and when not generating. Wind power was forced on OGE by the Corporation Commision. Guess where some of the Corporation Commissioners went to work when their terms expired. T Boon Pickins is a huge advocate of wind power in Oklahoma. His lobby is partially responsible. We were approached by a wind company to put towers on our property in Grant County. The land man gave us an offer that was as he said what your neighbor got and produced the contracts to prove it. What we saw was no clause to cover environmental spills, additional easement encroachments like additional lines ran into their easements and so on. Our Lawyer looked at the documents and just shook his head. No wording for removal after delisting from the grid because of obsolescence and no wording for returning the land to its original purpose which is farming. Lawyer entered the wording into the contract and we took it back to the land man. He took it and returned it signed a week later with no issues. The wind companies will leave monuments on the prairie if the land owners don't protect their rights. [/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
