Private property may need to be seized by federal government, corporations to advance climate initiatives, says JPMorgan CEO
 [The Blaze] JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon recently suggested in his annual letter to shareholders that the federal government and large corporations may have to seize private property from U.S. citizens to advance climate initiatives, which he claimed are not being implemented fast enough to avoid potential climate-related crises.According to Dimon's Tuesday letter, in order to acquire "adequate investments fast enough for grid, solar, wind and pipeline initiatives," governments and businesses may need to implement "eminent domain." Eminent domain is the ability of the government to take private property and convert it for public use following just compensation to the property's owner. Dimon argues that private properties may need to be seized to permit green energy projects and grow the nation's grid infrastructure. He expressed concern about having limited time to tackle the climate crisis and noted that not enough resources are being invested in green initiatives. Therefore, Dimon argued, it may be the right time to consider invoking eminent domain to avoid climate-related disasters.
