Idahoans continue to react with alarm over reports that thousands of tons of weapons-contaminated sand are being shipped from Kuwait to Grand View in one of the priciest trash pick-ups ever; as well as reports that the Idaho Legislature was successful in rolling out the red carpet to a French firm that will import milled uranium into Idaho, produce nuclear fuel for power plants, and leave a mountain of dangerous waste at its proposed site outside Idaho Falls. Meanwhile, Canada-based Iogen, which Idahoans assumed was a lock to build a major cellulosic ethanol plant in Shelley, has shut down its Idaho operations and is headed back to Saskatchewan, where the subsidies are much greener.

With the 2008 Legislature in the rear-view mirror, attention is turning to a number of utility regulatory matters this spring and summer, as well as possible action by the Legislature’s interim Energy Committee. Meanwhile, the PUC has its plate full with Idaho Power’s request to increase its energy efficiency tariff, and it will also be considering whether to spend some extra pollution credit sales proceeds to Idaho Power to create an energy education program. And Ridgeline Energy received approval by the Bingham County Planning and Zoning Commission for its 150-turbine project east of Blackfoot.

The Idaho Legislature is nearing adjournment – and for those supporting clean energy issues in Idaho the session looms as a disappointment. A handful of moderately helpful bills have been signed by the governor in the past week or will soon be on the governor’s desk for expected approval. Meanwhile, citizens still have a chance to comment to the Owyhee County Planning and Zoning Commission on its expected approval soon of two towers that were illegally built to support a possible nuclear power plantr; and Idaho Power is looking to buy up to 600MW of firm power in 2012 and is also asking the Idaho PUC to approve recovery of costs for its newest gas plant.

Idaho Energy Update: March 14, 2008

The Idaho Legislature continued to disappoint clean energy advocates this week, as the Senate Local Government and Taxation Committee voted to dish new tax breaks to French-owned Areva for a uranium enrichment plant it may or may not bring to Idaho. THE BILLS ARE UP FOR FINAL APPROVAL ON MONDAY.
On the good-news front, Idaho Power has filed with the Public Utilities Commission to increase the small amount it collects from ratepayers to add to its programs to increase energy conservation and efficiency programs.

A week after a Senate committee voted against bills to promote energy efficient schools and state buildings, the full Senate killed a resolution to engage Idaho in climate change issues and promote renewable energy. Meanwhile, the House couldn’t vote fast enough to grant French-subsidized nuclear giant Areva a pair of sweet tax deals. On the upside, Rocky Mountain Power asked the Public Utilities Commission to approve a request to ramp up its energy efficiency programs in eastern Idaho, and Rich Rayhill, one of Idaho’s leading proponents of renewable energy, will give a presentation on “Renewable Energy Opportunities in Idaho” at a House panel Monday afternoon.
