July 23 ID Energy Update: Transmission, geothermal, and Areva
By Liz Woodruff @ 5:17 PM :: 70 Views :: Nuclear Power, Idaho Energy Updates
Transmission lines are the theme of the week.

Meanwhile, BLM said it’s delaying this summer’s release of an environmental study on the proposed Gateway West transmission line from the coal and renewable energy generation plants in central Wyoming across southern Idaho to the Hemingway substation in Owyhee County to more closely examine such sensitive issues as sage grouse habitat. And Boise- based U.S. Geothermal is making progress on a new geothermal power plant at its San Emidio project in Nevada, while the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has finally agreed to hold a second Idaho hearing on the controversial proposed Areva uranium enrichment factory near Idaho Falls.
