Know Your Rights Before You Sign or Speak

Industrial wind developers often rely on confusion, fine print, and community silence.

But you have rights — as a landowner, a neighbor, and a citizen. Understanding those rights is the first step toward protecting your land, your voice, and your community’s future.

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS

Before You Sign Anything…

You have the right to:

  • Fully understand any contract before agreeing to it

  • Negotiate terms or walk away without penalty

  • Seek legal counsel — and you absolutely should

  • Ask how your mortgage, taxes, and property rights will be affected

  • Know who the lease benefits (you vs. the developer vs. future buyers)

Many contracts include easement conversion, non-disparagement clauses, and decades-long obligations — some of which are binding even to your heirs.

You’re Not Alone

You don’t need to be a lawyer to understand what’s fair. You just need someone to help you read between the lines.

Reach out to a local advocate, attorney, or community group. Your land matters. Your voice matters. Your rights matter.
