A federal judge on Thursday lifted a freeze on the assets of troubled would-be nuclear reactor developer AEHI, but the decision does little to ease the massive legal problems facing the company in the wake of securities fraud charges filed in December. Meanwhile, a network of 11 wind farms from Hagerman to Cassia County has been fired up and the 122 turbines are sending enough electricity to Idaho Power to power about 40,000 homes. And the Office of Energy Resources has just issued its “Idaho Energy Primer,” a look at assorted energy issues in the state. In the Idaho Legislature, the House is expected to approve a resolution re-authorizing the interim joint Energy, Environment and Technology Committee to study energy issues after this year’s session. The top priority will be a review of Idaho’s 2007 Energy Plan, which after five years is up for a “complete study” to see which portions should be revised and what should be added or deleted from the plan.

Developers of a planned nuclear reactor in Payette County had a tough week, with two investor-oriented news organizations raising questions about the company’s ability to pull off its plan. Meanwhile, Owyhee County’s first big wind project was presented to the county’s planning commission with strong support from county residents, many of whom are farming and ranching the 5,000 acres where the turbines would be sited. At the PUC, the Commission approved the first solar contract with Idaho Power as well as a proposal by Intermountain Gas to reduce rates due to reduce gas prices and demand.

The determination, intelligence and creativity of Snake River Alliance supporters have been at the forefront in the past weeks at meetings on Areva’s plans to build a uranium factory here and in less public but as important efforts to convince Idaho senators to help ratify the New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (New START).
