Rural Land Use. Solar Farms. 4 Legal and Legislative issues.

• Solar Leases vs. Mineral Rights. A lease could put a landwoner in conflict with mineral rights

• No Agriculture. Solar panels don’t allow for the same agricultural use of land that oil and gas and wind turbines allow.
• No settled solar law. Oil and gas has 90 years of law and case law to settle disputes. Soalr is a new issue.
