Nuke Plant Developer’s New Funder Has Shaky Financial Past
By Sandy Pederson @ 4:51 PM :: 102 Views :: Nuclear Power, Bruneau nuclear reactor, SRA News Releases
|
|
The Texas-based energy company selected by an Idaho nuclear power plant developer as its newest financial supporter has no history of developing power plants and last year saw its nuclear plant contract with the government of Yemen cancelled because the government didn’t think it was up to the job. It's the third time Alternate Energy Holdings has tried to convince Idahoans it has the resources for its Elmore County nuclear plant proposal, and it seems the third time won't be the charm.

Idaho Energy Update July 11: Nuke Plant Saga Continues
By Sandy Pederson @ 5:09 PM :: 112 Views :: Nuclear Power, Clean and Renewable Energy, Bruneau nuclear reactor, Idaho Energy Updates
|
|
The saga of Idaho’s nomad nuclear power plant continues to drag on, with the plant’s developer offering up yet another would-be financial angel – but the missing ingredient is once again the money. Meanwhile, you can read the developer’s short note to Idaho Legislators in which he excused himself from appearing before the Interim Energy Committee at the last minute, saying he was “busy.” On the utility side, Idaho Power is asking the PUC for permission to buy about 83MW of summer peak power from Montana to deal with those high summertime loads, and the PUC will be holding a workshop this week to look into how to spend a half-million dollars made available when Idaho Power sold surplus pollution credits – a good thing. And the sale price for Intermountain Gas was $328 million. Read on for details on these and other energy issues.

Idahoans Should Take Note of Areva’s French Nuke Spill
By Sandy Pederson @ 9:36 AM :: 115 Views :: Nuclear Power, Nuclear Waste and Contamination, SRA News Releases
|
|
The French-owned company that Idaho legislators and other officials lured to Idaho Falls with taxpayer-funded subsidies is battling public outrage at home over its handling of a uranium leak at one of its French nuclear plants. Areva, the nuclear giant courted by Idaho officials hoping it would bring its uranium enrichment plant to eastern Idaho, is under fire for the timing of its notification of a radioactive leak that prompted government-ordered bans on drinking tainted waters as well as swimming and fishing in them.

Residents Raise Nuke Plant Questions at Mountain Home Meeting
By Sandy Pederson @ 4:05 PM :: 164 Views :: Nuclear Power, Clean and Renewable Energy, Bruneau nuclear reactor, SRA News Releases
|
More than 25 concerned residents filled a room at the Mountain Home Public Library Tuesday for the first open discussion of the proposed Elmore County nuclear power plant since Alternate Energy Holdings pulled up roots in Owyhee County last spring and moved its nomad nuke plant upstream on the Snake River. "For the first time, those affected by AEHI’s power plant proposal had a chance to ask their questions and get straight-up answers about the project and about the company,” Snake River Alliance Executive Director Andrea Shipley said. “The people of Elmore County and across southern Idaho have been looking for answers to their concerns, but unfortunately they haven’t been getting them at AEHI’s orchestrated and exclusive meetings so far.”

Elmore Nuke Plant Developer Sends Regrets to Legislature
By Sandy Pederson @ 6:40 PM :: 217 Views :: Nuclear Power, Bruneau nuclear reactor, SRA News Releases
|
|
A state legislative energy committee meeting took a bizarre twist Thursday when the developer of a proposed Elmore County nuclear power plant left the Capitol Annex moments before his scheduled testimony, leaving word that he would e-mail his testimony in instead. AEHI President Don Gillispie had been on the agenda for the Interim Energy for more than a week and was scheduled to give lawmakers an update on his proposed 1,600MW nuclear power plant south of Mountain Home. When he failed to appear to testify, former Owyhee County Planning and Zoning Commissioner Joe Weatherby was invited to the podium to discuss the nuke plant with the panel.

Nuclear Meeting Meltdown: Chaos at Glenns Ferry Nuke Meet
By Sandy Pederson @ 3:40 PM :: 404 Views :: Nuclear Power, Bruneau nuclear reactor, SRA News Releases
|
Tuesday night’s so-called “open house” to discuss the proposed Idaho Energy Complex nuclear power plant south of Mountain Home melted down into a raucous meeting after the plant’s developers sought to silence critics of the energy scheme. The Elmore County Sheriff’s Office arrested one nuclear plant opponent and others were threatened with arrest as well simply for handing out brochures that set the record straight on a litany of misinformation being dished out by Alternate Energy Holdings, Inc., the chronically underfunded proponent of a power plant the company is shopping around southwest Idaho.

By Sandy Pederson @ 4:23 PM :: 237 Views :: Nuclear Power, SRA News Releases
|
|
Developers of a proposed nuclear power plant in Elmore County held their first “public meeting” Tuesday, a 90-minute session in which they limited questions to county residents only and rattled off a series of inaccurate claims about nuclear power, their proposed project, and how it will impact Mountain Home and other communities in Elmore County.

The Snake River Alliance held a public meeting at the Mountain Home Library on July 1st from 6-8:30 pm to discuss AEHI's proposal for a nuclear power plant on the Snake River near Hammett. We are in the process of helping a group of citizens, who attended the meeting, from Elmore and Owyhee Counties form their own coalition to oppose the plant. If you want to be part of this group please contact the Alliance.
To act today, contact the policy makers who will decide on whether the plant is allowed or not:
