“ Wonder how that will turn out for the grandkids.”
They are probably getting around $700/acre/year.
That’s around $7,000,000 over the lease term. The solar company will also likely have been obligated to provide a restoration bond at some point. I’m thinking the grandkids should be just fine.
That presumes the solar company doesn’t go bankrupt in the next 25 years. Didn’t work out for the wind companies.
