I always wonder why other companies did not take on this approach. When you dig up oil you get natural gas too. But oil and natural gas companies are seen in competition.

Like wise when you exhaust an oil gas field you get free land for solar and wind.

These things were such no Brainers.

Mineral rights leases, I do not believe, are not extended to solar and wind in the USA. In the USA you don't necessarily own the land you are extracting resources from.

You may like to read up on Orsted (formerly DONG). Formerly a major oil & coal energy producer, now one of the largest global players in green energy. It continues to be a remarkably successful transition.
