Use of eminent domain for utility lines and roads strikes me as a decidedly public use, regardless of whether public or privately operated, as I regard the provision of transportation, whether of people of goods (including such goods as electricity, gas, and water) a a public use .  However, I wouldn't support the use of eminent domain to gather the land used to build an electric  generating plant. This decision effecively gutted any constitutional limits on the use of emminent domain, which is precisely why it was so bad.
