The Diplomatic Sovereignty of Subsurface Infrastructure Rights
Governments are pivoting from broad mineral concession models to a tiered system of 'subsurface infrastructure rights' to facilitate multi-decade energy storage projects. This regulatory evolution decouples extraction rights from long-term storage viability, creating a stable legal framework for perpetual asset management.
