Calling All Clean Energy Advocates! Every day Idaho legislators in the Statehouse learn about, debate, and vote on issues that impact the lives of Idahoans across the state. Elected lawmakers make these decisions on behalf of their many constituents, but in order to do this well, they need to hear from those constituents. They need to hear from YOU.

Jan 23 ID Energy Update: Energy Plan, AEHI Woes, and More
By lwoodruff @ 4:59 PM :: 64 Views :: 0 Comments :: Nuclear Power, Bruneau nuclear reactor, SRA News Releases
Months in the making, Idaho’s proposed 2012 Energy Plan is being sent to House and Senate committees for expected approval, warts and all. Meanwhile, the would-be developer of a nuclear reactor near the Snake River outside of Payette has run into problems with county planners, putting things on hold pending an appeal. That’s not the least of AEHI’s problems: It’s still embroiled in a high-stakes stock fraud suit brought by federal securities regulators. And Idaho Power may join with another utility and the Bonneville Power Administration in developing the Boardman-Hemingway transmission line from southwest Idaho to the Columbia River. We also have a report on the latest energy facility “siting” bill introduced by state Senate Democrats, complaints by two Twin Falls women over what Idaho Power’s new smart meters are really up to, and the announcement by Exergy Development that it plans 23 more wind farms in Idaho. Finally, the Idaho Legislature’s 2012 session is under way, so we’re resuming our weekly legislative update on things energy taking place at the Statehouse.

A report released Wednesday places the blame for the radiation exposure of 16 Idaho National Laboratory employees squarely on the shoulders of laboratory management.

Missed opportunities, inadequate safety assessments and ineffective training were among INL's failures that contributed to the exposure, according to a 123-page report by the U.S. Department of Energy, which oversees the lab.
