[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 5492839, member: 58386"] I live in strip mine country. There is a proposed solar plant a few miles out the road. The neighborhood out there bitterly opposed to it pointing to the fact that the proposed site is a parcel of what little farm land remaining that hasn't already been torn up and destroyed by strip mining. That wasn't the case during the coal boom years following the Arab oil embargo. Everywhere you looked you saw a dragline. Now every year there are thousands of acres of worthless back filled strip ground up for tax sale. The coal stripper's lease on the property has ended leaving the owner stuck with a mess on his hands, no longer generating income so naturally he quits paying the taxes on it cheating the county township and school district but nobody in their right mind will bid on it.
