Three years ago I was approached by a geothermal company asking for a $1000 utility easement over my property to begin developing their geothermal program to power about 500 homes in the Winnemucca area. I told them they would have to acquire the property as I thought the power lines would negatively impact any future sales for me in that area. We negotiated for about a month and because they needed my property or an easement to complete the project they acquired the property at what was a great price for both of us. This is just one strategy to capitalize on the burgeoning alternative energy market in rural Nevada, California, New Mexico and Arizona.
Check out the link below for the proposed projects capitalizing on Solar, Wind and Geothermal Power in Nevada. This is the future and the land owners whom own land in these rural areas will have tremendous negotiating leverage when other companies start knocking on their doors.
Let me know what you think…. Leave a comment and we can start a dialogue.
