Thats just one lease...I think they receive 50 thousand for each deep well site. Dont quote me on that. I know they got a bunch of these lease's. I would think that they would get money(commission) from the wind turbines as well. I agree with you that the PGC acquires grant money for studies like the woodrat. Knowledge about the life history of all species is important,- But dont tell me that they dont contribute anything to these studies. Grant money rarely covers the whole expense of a study- usually it goes on a dollar for dollar match bases. I never said that i didnt agree with the studies i was just saying that some of them are not great studies.
