Answer to Question 2

Nuisance
The appellate court reversed the lower court's dismissal and permitted the plaintiffs to pursue their case. The appellate court held that the plaintiffs' use of their property had been hampered. Consequently, the plaintiffs were permitted to try their case and recover damages should they prove that the harms of the turbine generator exceeded its benefits.
