[QUOTE="Running Arrow Bill, post: 547031, member: 9"] Over the past several weeks there have been several public meetings to "educate" the public about this power/water deal. Yes, it will happen. And, yes, if a landowner doesn't agree to the terms it is my understanding that the "power of the cartel" can exercise it's legal options to "acquire property". With a project in the billions of dollars and a lot of politics, etc., involved, and plans to supply water from the vast ogalalah water aquifer to the predicted shortages of water in the other Texas regions, yet I see it happening. Additionally, since Texas is the major USA supplier of predictable WIND, and especially in the Panhandle region...yes, wind turbines will and are happening...and, probably to supply the "grid" via the new transmission lines. There is rarely a week that goes by that 2 or 3 LONG trailers hauling the "propellers" of those turbines doesn't go down US 83 in front of our place. There is a lot of wind and oil/gas equipment and materials that go along this route on a weekly basis...yes, heading North. Unless I am totally psychotic and comatose, this Wind, Water, Power thing is gonna happen; and, probably sooner than one expects. Info and all we've heard is that this stuff will really take off, construction-wise in 2009...property "acquisitions" and easements are already in the initial stages of this project...according to the Landmen of these developers.
