Tell 'Em: Not with Our Money! -- Beatrice Brailsford
By bbrailsford @ 2:50 PM :: 570 Views ::
0 Comments :: Nuclear Power, Action Alert!
|
|
The economics of US taxpayers underwriting $2 billion worth of debt for a French-government owned company never looked very good. With the Fukushima disaster now delivering ongoing blows to any rationale for increased uranium enrichment for nuclear reactor fuel, it’s time to reconsider Areva’s bailout. We have another chance to tell Areva and the NRC, “Not with our money!” Sunday, July 10, 3-5 pm, and Monday, July 11, 7-9 pm in Idaho Falls.

May 3 ID Energy Update: Idaho Power Amps Up Wind Fight, Colo Rejects Nuke Plant

In a move that’s leaving Idaho energy-watchers scratching their heads, Idaho Power has pulled out the stops with a pricey ad campaign to try to further slow down wind energy development in Idaho. The ads paint the utility as one of the nation’s greenest – a claim quickly refuted in another ad by the region’s independent power producers. In other Idaho Power news, long-time regulatory affairs chief and more recently the company’s sustainability czar Ric Gale announced his retirement from the company. And in nuke news, the Pueblo County Commission in Colorado has denied a request for a reactor project – one that once involved the company that has been shopping reactors around Idaho for the past four years. And THAT company, Eagle-based AEHI, has a June 6 date before the Payette County Commission for its project, as well as an October 2012 date in U.S. District Court to answer to federal securities fraud charges.

Reflections on Fukushima -- Liz Woodruff
By bbrailsford @ 3:23 PM :: 756 Views ::
2 Comments :: Nuclear Power, Action Alert!
|

In the first decade of the 21st century, it was relatively easy for the nuclear industry to convince the American public that nuclear power can be “safe” and to sell the notion of a nuclear power “renaissance.” But after the catastrophe at Fukushima, the stark realities of nuclear power have become impossible to ignore.

Idaho Energy Update: Senate Pulls Plug on Idaho's Renewable Energy Development Incentive
By lwoodruff @ 4:49 PM :: 638 Views ::

The Idaho Legislature finally completed its unusually acrimonious 2011 session Thursday, but not before the Senate’s final vote – to pull the plug on Idaho’s incentive for investments in renewable energy. Despite easy passage in the House and amid the end-of-session chaos, the Senate came one vote shy of extending the sales tax rebate for renewable energy developments, an incentive viewed as critical for many renewable projects to move forward. Meanwhile, Seattle City Light has signed an agreement to buy the renewable energy credits from a wind farm under construction near Mountain Home. The PUC surprised many in rejecting a settlement agreement reached between Idaho Power and other parties on how the utility funds its energy conservation programs. And peripatetic Payette power plant proponent Alternate Energy Holdings filed its late financial report to the SEC – and the outlook for its would-be nuclear reactor is not a pretty picture.

March 11 ID Energy Update: Wind Wars, Kjellander Back to PUC & , AEHI

Idaho’s gathering storm over utility wind projects burst open this week as rival bills were introduced in the Legislature first to extend the lifeblood renewable energy sales tax rebates beyond their expiration this summer, and then to ban new wind farms altogether pending a legislative study of how wind power works in Idaho. And in something of a surprise, Gov Otter moved former Idaho PUC Commissioner Paul Kjellander back to the PUC from the Office of Energy Resources, which Kjellander led for the past two years. And the Payette County Commission rejected appeals of a P&Z green light of a property rezone for a nuclear reactor, meaning the County Commission is now free to hold hearings of its own on the proposal that remains mired in a federal securities fraud suit.
