AEHI Takes Nuke Reactor Road Show to Payette County
By Liz Woodruff @ 3:58 PM :: 605 Views :: Nuclear Power, Bruneau nuclear reactor, SRA News Releases
The would-be developer of a nuclear reactor on the Snake River in Elmore County now says he wants to build a reactor in Payette County, despite the fact billionaire energy tycoon Warren Buffett spent millions of dollars studying a Payette site only to conclude the project didn’t make economic sense. This is the third Idaho county Alternate Energy Holdings, Inc., has shopped for in its quest to build a reactor for which it has no money or property.

Nuke Developer to SEC: It Doesn't Look Good
By Liz Woodruff @ 3:49 PM :: 794 Views :: Bruneau nuclear reactor, SRA News Releases
AEHI, the nuke developer wannabe in Elmore County, filed its required SEC form Aug. 14, and it's not a pretty picture. The company's report paints a grim picture of a company in obvious distress just a week after it announced it’s looking for another county or even state lands for the project. AEHI is short of cash, short of prospects for getting any cash, and now is casting around Idaho for another location for its reactor scheme. Even Sen. Mike Crapo says AEHI overstated his support for the project.

AEHI May Take Its Vaudeville Nuke Scheme Elsewhere
By Liz Woodruff @ 3:04 PM :: 799 Views :: Nuclear Power, Bruneau nuclear reactor, SRA News Releases
The would-be developer of a nuclear reactor on the Snake River says he’s so tired of Elmore County not giving in to his demands that he’s thinking of taking his Nomad Nuclear Scheme to another county that may be more accommodating. AEHI CEO Don Gillispie says "several Idaho counties and the state" have rolled out the red carpet for his reactor, although that comes as news to the state and he doesn't identify the counties.

Would-Be Elmore Nuke Plant Financier Shutting Its Doors
By Liz Woodruff @ 3:14 PM :: 668 Views :: Nuclear Power, Bruneau nuclear reactor, SRA News Releases
The Texas firm that Elmore County nuclear reactor developers identified less than a year ago as their new financial partner told the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Wednesday that it may restructure but for now “is no longer conducting business operations and is in the process of winding up.” The closure of Powered Corporation of Houston is yet more evidence that Alternate Energy Holdings, Inc., a recent transplant from Virginia and would-be developer of a 1,600MW nuclear reactor atop the Snake River outside of Hammett, is incapable of raising cash for its mystery reactor, said Snake River Alliance Executive Director Andrea Shipley.

By Liz Woodruff @ 9:28 AM :: 597 Views :: Nuclear Power, SRA News Releases

Elmore County commissioners on Monday submitted a request to the Planning and Zoning commissioners to examine possible changes to the current comprehensive land use plan’s identification of areas for industrial development. By so doing they acknowledged that the current application to build a nuclear reactor along the Snake River is in violation of the comprehensive plan and their request means the plan, which took several years to develop with countywide input, would have to be significantly altered to allow for the proposed facility.
