They lease in order to put the hardware on the land. The easement has to do with the wind. It simply says... I cannot construct anything that's going to impair the wind flow that approaches those turbines. So I can't build any tall buildings. I can't put up any tree breaks. I can't do anything that would impair the wind, of course. I mean, I can't imagine what I would do out here.

Well, you probably don't have coffee shops in your area like we do here where people get together and chat. You know, this thing got pretty controversial, and I'm deciding I'll keep a low profile here. But one day I go to the local saloon, and I just want to get my hamburger and eat and get out of there because I don't really want to answer any questions.
