In the Energy Policy, the Bush admin wants to take a lot of eminent-domain for combining the power grids into one mega-system. Of course, that will just make it much easier for the California-type problem to happen to anyone in all of the US and, as you can see here, also displace quite a few people.
I have trouble with a lot of eminent-domain cases... such as the Native Americans, for instance. I guess it is the American way. Salute manifest destiny and its glorious rewards.
Eminent-domain has been a great tool for capitalism, and it will continue to be. Apologies to the unfortunates caught in the middle.
