We applaud the “reclusive billionaire” opposing the energy industry’s
development plans in southeastern Montana. Big Industry is taking away what makes Montana great. The Wind farms, for example are a good idea expect for the Landowner is not being paid enough and the company that owns the energy company said to be out of SPAIN, has threatened landowners in the Shelby with condemning their land if they to not get their way, which they claim is in the best good of all.
Forrest E. Mars Jr. who owns a large Montana Ranch is apparently going against the company that wants to go after the coal and natural gas reserves in the area
Little Money, and the rights of Montana Ranchers and Farmers get stomped on quite often and most of the time it really is blamed on big money stepping on little money. It will be very interesting to see how this places out. Energy Companies usually WIN.
This kind of operation is VERY bad for the quality of water in Montana.
Montana claims to care about watershed but yet lets large companies such as Revett Minerals do what ever they want in the name of economic development and progress.
Montana ALWAYS favors Oil and Gas Drilling, it’s a way of life.
As a Real Estate broker owner I must say that if you buy land that has a previous Oil and Gas lease than you are subject to that lease. A whole lot of Montana Land has previous Gas and Oil leases. This could be a sticky situation.
The article said “Mineral rights trump surface rights.” This is scary and should have never been allowed in the first place.
I for One hope that This Time, the Billionaire WINS this will mean that Montana Wins, the watershed wins, and the land wins.
