If we can lease land to drillers, we can lease it to the sun and wind too. Time to stop playing favorites with polluters.

Clean energy on oil fields sounds promising, but let’s watch the impacts before we jump all in.

Finally, a bill that turns fossil fuel grounds into clean energy playgrounds—hope Congress keeps the ‘climate deniers’ in check this time!

Renewables on oil land? Sounds like adding a solar panel to a gas guzzler—inefficient and half-baked policy.

Smart to leverage existing leases for renewables—save some land, save some time, just don’t forget the fine print.

If the leaseholder has to consent, why is this even a bill? Just don’t let big government push green nonsense on us.

Co-location means double the power, half the footprint. It’s like giving oil rigs a solar facelift, and I’m here for it.

Great, now the government wants to turn private energy leases into a solar theme park—what’s next, wind turbines on Grandma’s porch?

Using lease consent is a decent compromise—respect the players but push the green agenda forward carefully.
