Been through that here too. You pretty much nailed it.

Around here, it was German owned power companies "harvesting the subsidies", and absentee landowners collecting the cash while urinating on their neighbors.

Fortunately, we were able to stop any more of these in our county by forcing them to provide a "Property Value Guarantee" and offsets from non-leaseholders homes to 2500', instead of the 1000' the industry claims is safe.

What I forgot to add, and started out meaning to:
That whole chain is initiated seems initiated with the understanding that someone is going to get stuck with an un-sellable investment - especially when some of them start to self destruct near the end of their lifespan, leaving a huge burned out husk of a machine dangling at the top of a 200-foot post that will cost more to disassemble than its scrap & land resale value.
