FYI - Old news for us in Nevada. Our Mining industry has the right of eminent domain and has used it on the Comstock (Virginia City) in the 1980's. The town of Silver City is currently threatened by a mining company that says they will strip mine the whole town if they can make a nickle.
By the way, a mining company can strip mine in the Comstock Historic District without so much as a permit but I can't build a 4ft x 4ft storage shed without a permit.
It seems we never realy own any land, the government rents it to us for the taxes.
