					<description><![CDATA[The 61 wind turbines soon to surround Taralga will now be 131.5m tall and some will have lights as a result of a Land and Environment Court decision last week. 
The Land and Environment Court handed down its decision to approve the new height for the wind turbines of 131.5m (up from 110m) with more conditions, in Sydney on August 21. 
The new conditions include that RES Southern Cross must offer to buy out two more affected neighbours, as well .&#160;.&#160;.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[E.ON UK is to appeal against a local government refusal to grant planning permission for a wind farm at Auchencorth Moss in Scotland, the German-owned utility said on Thursday.
Midlothian Council rejected the plan to build a 45-megawatt onshore wind farm neat Penicuik in February, despite the project&#8217;s potential to contribute towards Britain&#8217;s already challenging renewable energy targets.
&#8220;We were disappointed in the decision made by Midlothian Council as we believe that Auchencorth Moss is the ideal location for the wind farm .&#160;.&#160;.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[About 150 landowners and concerned residents met in Harper Thursday to discuss possible construction of a private electric transmission line through Gillespie County. 
“We basically wanted to get together and pool our information,” Martha Stevens, who helped organize the meeting, said. “We live in an awfully pretty part of Texas, and there are important questions we need to ask.” 
Landowners are concerned, Ms. Stevens said, that construction of power lines will diminish property values and harm the Hill Country’s appeal .&#160;.&#160;.]]></description>

The dictionary defines eminent domain as the inherent power of the state to seize a citizen&#8217;s private property without the owner&#8217;s consent.
