No. Proper remediation requires removal.0.1 acre for the concrete.
Seems like they out the ecosystem back around it.

Go to west Texas. There are tens of thousands of acres of farmland (wheat, cotton, corn, milo, sunflowers, hay) that have windmill installations throughout. This goes for a couple hundred miles from Amarillo to Lubbock and to the east as well. Farmers seem to have this figured out.Geeze, guy. I mean, please try comprehending what I am actually having to deal with. You don’t. I do. So let’s get that straight.
Again, I am not overly concerned about farming over them when they are gone. Who really gives a flip about that?
I’m talking about farming around them when they are there.
West Texas farmers have a lot of experience farming around the “stumps” in the form of injection wells, well head, well pads, pump jacks, ”christmas trees”, tank batteries, Irrigation pivots, Etc, etc.Go to west Texas.

True, but those “stumps” including windmills also provide substantial income to the farmers.West Texas farmers have a lot of experience farming around the “stumps” in the form of injection wells, well head, well pads, pump jacks, ”christmas trees”, tank batteries, Irrigation pivots, Etc, etc.
That doesn’t totally negate the tangible and intangible costs of doing so.

Maybe, maybe not. Most are being converted to NG which makes a great deal of sense considering we have so much of it compared to windmills and solar panels which require land acquisition, new infrastructure and a lot of foreign built parts. Then it doesn’t work if it’s dark (solar) or if there’s no wind (windmills).Research decommissioning and removal of a coal plant. Astronomical costs. Many become federal superfund sites because the operators file bankruptcy to avoid site clean up.
And guess whats going to happen with all these wind and solar companies. If you can even keep track of who has what lease. One of the smaller ones here has changed ownership names 3 times in as many years.Research decommissioning and removal of a coal plant. Astronomical costs.

Yeah, but he doesn’t have to mow around windmills If he doesn’t lease out his land. It’s his choice, so what is he complaining about?I just got another load of horse hay from a farmer I've known many years. If I repeated what he says about the infrastructure, windmills, electric cars/trucks/tractors, solar panels, etc. on this forum I'd be banned for life. His 100s of acre pastures would be ruined even with a few windmills. We're not talking about a subdivision life mowing around a bird bath. He doesn't get his information via the internet but real world experience.
