    Learn about an 11-year legal odyssey involving the Osage Nation’s challenge to a large wind farm, including 84 wind turbines situated on fee land within the Osage Reservation in Oklahoma, without a “mining” permit.  After a significant Tenth Circuit reversal, a federal judge granted a permanent injunction, found the project to be a continuing trespass and ordered a trial on damages and conversion. It’s a cautionary tale about tribal sovereignty, land use requirements, the need for community engagement and building support for renewable energy projects.

    Seeking Energy Truth
    Energy and climate are often presented as a binary choice between “clean and dirty.” Of course, this does not represent reality and the complex global trade offs that go on at the intersection of Energy, the Economy, and the Environment. Only by understanding these trade offs will we be able to address the challenge of affordable, reliable energy for all global citizens, with lower emissions and a cleaner environment.

    Legal Considerations in Geothermal Energy Development and Pore Space Rights in Texas
    Technological advancements have broadened the potential applications for harnessing geothermal energy from wells in Texas. With applications of this technology exploring ways to combine geothermal wells with subsurface pore spaces, it is important to outline the rights of all interested parties, including the surface, mineral, and geothermal estates.
