No eminent domain for private gain. Cornhuskers target Energy.

A bill to allow for private sale of electricity in Nebraska also includes a laundry list of eminent domain prohibitions for all electric generators and distributors.

Nebraksa’s LB 660 would prohibit eminent domain for:

  • generation
  •  transmission
  • distribution

If that isn’t enough, a stand alone bill calling for no eminent domain for the electric industry also exists in LB 547
