Oh oh, can I guess why nothing is happening.
Those who make the decisions about energy are owned by big oil.
Possibly. We certainly have the "Who" and the "What" and the "Where" and the "When" and the "How." But as for the MOST important question of "Why," we still don't know for certain. Although plaing the game of "Follow the money" is always a helpful thing when trying to discover the answer to that one.
They're prolly waiting until the optimum time to make a switch, from the money making perspective.
Duh.
Duh.
My guess is they're waiting for solar power to take off, so they can then sell the land with a big profit to companies who'll actually use it. Kinda like patent sniping.
I don't see investment companies go into the business themselves.

You know what someone needs to do? Put evil Big Oil out of business. I suggest starting out by setting fire to a couple oceanic oil rigs.
No matter how you slice it, no mater the hidden truth of the big fat unanswered question of "Why?" the nation is suffering right now because of this 5-year lack of action by the lease holders.
Just remember, somebody has to buy the land sometime and if the solar developers don't have the money to buy the land and develop them, someone else will and keep the land until the moment comes when sufficient funds are available. Solar technology has to improve a bit more before it becomes a solid winner (that is, night-time distribution and long distance distribution of energy need to be addressed before it clinches the title.)
