David, I got a notice email so that function works for me on the group page.  I look forward to seeing if others got one and will reply.

David, the terms are pretty long. Forty years (?). (But maybe that's the mechanical life of a wind turbine or the life expectancy of the company operating it.) (Ahem.)

Me, I know nothing about such leasing going on in Rapids. But if it was me and if this is all legit, I think I'd like to do a wind turbine deal. From what I know, it's like the endless royalty of a NG well that never depletes. In other words, when the mailbox money fades and stops for the so-called Shale Royalty (and some day it will, in fact, evaporate) -- then those who have wind-turbine direct-deposit income will still keep the moolah coming in.

I reconnected with Two Dogs today since Rapides is in his backyard so to speak.  He sends his regards to all the shalers and says he hasn't heard anything as yet about leasing for a wind farm in that part of the state.  If this was a serious effort, I think Two Dogs would have heard of it.  For those that don't know, Two Dogs was a very early member of GHS.com and one of our favorite, knowledgeable members.
