    Does the bill specify the cost of the lease? What is stopping the federal government from making the lease so expensive that it isn’t desirable or gives us enough cash to build HSR connecting every MTA with >500K population from Portland Maine to Miami

      Its not a set price, its competitive lease bidding, which the bill also requires, meaning oil and gas companies just try to outbid eachother for the land.
