This is great news! My sister inherited land from Dad that has natural gas under it, in Kings County CA.
We were afraid the enviro-weenies were going to successfully try and stop fracking.
The American Land Conservancy has been trying to buy those parcels. I suspect for a land swap involving the BLM, as in Nevada 20-years ago, the one that involved Sen.Harry Reid.
I hope that all works out for the family.
Several states are talking about selling government owned land to the citizens (Nevada for one, the gov owns most of thT state), that would be a real boon here in California.
Your sister needs to keep watch so the enviroWACKOS don’t dump a pail of water on her land and declare it a wetland!
Who owns the mineral rights?
Boy that bring up a memory...
A freeper here eons ago and I got on the topic of micro-turbines and the exotic metals in any jet engine. he quipped ( and I can't remember the nick-name) of the enviromental types that buy up tracks of land full of minerals etc and sit on it for eons knowing full well it will be worth a fortune. His point was turbines would be cheaper if we went after the metals which the enviro-weenies are sitting on. I don't totally agree, they are expensive engines, but you get the point.
So what else is Reid sitting on?
I am so cynical that I would bet a donut and coffee that Prince Andrew in NY is stalling Fracking their so all the cronies, hacks and lackies and buy up the land and clean up in the deal...
Progressive / Liberals talk a good line about being for the people bla, bla, bla, but when it comes to their taxes or making money they are vicious, been their, done that...
