In a recent debate, a gubernatorial candidate's claim that every farmer and rancher should be able to drill for oil on their own land has left many scratching their heads. Michael takes issue with this statement, pointing out that it shows a fundamental ignorance of property rights. He explains that mineral rights and surface rights are separate and distinct, and that the idea that surface owners should automatically own the rights to the land beneath their property is a misconception.

Michael, who has experience in oil and gas law, breaks down the concept of property rights, explaining that mineral rights can be transferred separately from surface rights. He uses his own property as an example, noting that they own the surface rights to his land in Highlands Ranch, Colorado, but not the mineral rights.
