How do these keep you from mining if not being in use?

A claim is property, not a lease.

1. They create large monuments like the recent sand to snow, which withdraws the land from mineral entry. There is a new proposal to close almost all of the southern deserts in the proposed Chuckwalla national monument. Same goes for wilderness areas

2. They create large wind or solar leases and close access such as those areas near the El Paso mountains

Having claims prevents that happening

rules of wind and solar leases on federal land.

They put a fence around everything before they erect their panels and turbines.  I've seen them building numerous installations around Mojave, California.  Some of that land I hunted relics and some I hunted nuggets.

I can't hunt it now.
