I am confused. I have always thought that LP was made up of either Propane or Butane gases products of refineries. Am I right? CNG gas is compressed natural gas which is a different source? I remember fifty years ago that many of the irrigation pumps in western Kansas and Oklahoma were powered by engines using natural gas from the gas wells on the land. M-M were the favorites they would run two of them tail on a gear head another was the Chrysler V8 running on its tail direct drive on the impeller shaft. They had altered the oil sump so it would have oil. I do not know if the fuel systems were modified. I seem to remember the planed the head on the M-M . I am sure some old M-M mechanic from that are would know. This made irrigation profitable Electricity makes it a little tighter.
Now on the wind farms. In most of the cases here in Oklahoma Pickens is buying only the right-a-way for access to build the windmill and the surface damages. The owner still owns the land and the water right unless he sells them. The same goes for oil and gas right. The use of the water from a water right is controlled by The Oklahoma Water Resource Board. Either in gallons or in the case of irrigation (acre feet) you can use so many acre feet per year and must report how much each year to retain your rights. Water rights are a valuable asset. I do not now off taking ant land by eminent domain her in OK. We must remember that after several years of drought and low cattle and grain prices what would you do? If you can get a year by year payment for the use of your land and still run some cattle and have a gas or oil well paying you a monthly royalty what would you do? I am not standing up for T.Boone Pickens even though he has given millions to Oklahoma State University.
The rules very from State to State we have had and still have a lot of scoundrels and still do here in Oklahoma yet, I have seen a lot of farmer and rangers go from a poor boy to a fine operation with one of those “Black Nurse Cows”. The has a USA has a energy problem we have to solve it. The saying goes, “The foreign counties got us by the Ying-Ying”. We must explore every option.
