As developers pursue the construction of wind farms in Wyoming, some questions linger about the nature of wind rights and how they relate to land ownership.

But the state Legislature has not addressed whether landowners can sever wind resources from their property, as state law allows for mineral resources. (Glen Stubbe/AP)
