  1. Nice pictures. A lot of open space and to think there is a huge resource of crude oil and gas under it. It may seem like a hole lot of nothing there but as they say looks can be deceiving.

    1. The interesting thing is that when it's all said and done, with submersible pumps, etc., and even the big pumps, there's going to be a lot of land still being farmed among the oil pads, unlike wind and solar which pretty much precludes dual use.
