Land Men Switch Teams.

What is happening? Land men who would negotiate land deals for oil and gas industry are now working for land for wind and solar land deals.

Why is this important? As the number of land men (err… land persons) declines, they are also switching sides to represent land owners in these transactions.

How will this be important? Wind and solar installations are not shrinking in number, they are only growing. Acquiring the land or space for those will continue to require negotiations and identification.
