This doesn't stink of shitty lobbying or corruption...does Wyoming get a kick back for what's mined/drilled after the rights are transferred? Oh they don't‽ Then why the fuck do they care as long as the check clears.

As a matter of fact production does get taxed. So 12k up front for the lease is a pittance compared to what the ongoing can bring.

Wyoming has been taken over by billionaires. You can't just have people buying up land and not destroying it. There is value to extract.
