Comment: "Idaho Power's out-of-state energy mandates and corporate projects are driving
up Idaho's power costs...people are tired of increasing costs and there's no way to make it
acceptable. Keep it simple - don't raise the rates, time to implement a DOGE procedure
and get rid of things that are unnecessary. There's room in EVERY organization to cut fat.
Thankyou,
Chad

Comment: "Recent articles by Idaho Sen. Christy Zito and Rep. David Leavitt brought Idaho
Power's power grab from darkness to light (which we soon won't see much of if this rate
increase is allowed).
This rate increase is outrageous. It clearly favors Non-Idaho Regional Interests, Green
Energy Fanatics, and Big Corporate stakeholders -- not everyday citizens who will suffer
greatly. Sadly that could be their plan: to drive everyday citizens out of their homes and into
pove rty.

Many have rightly stated (though we don't know who first said this): "He who controls
energy controls the world."
Data centers (especially for AI), cloud seeding, wind farms, solar, smart meters, S1183
wildfire immunity(which we urged the legislature to oppose)—all these insane ideas are
destroying America and have already proven disastrous for Europe. Look at what's
happening in England, Spain, France and closer to home, CA and TX.
The push toward a surveillance state and the climate change hoax we've all been sold as
truth were covered well during a recent segment of The Highwire:

This is NOT the world we want.
Please deny this outrageous rate hike and start peeling back the harms caused by Idaho's
participation in the Western Energy Imbalance Market (WEIM). This multi-state energy
trading system is run by the California Independent System Operator(CAISO)1, which
allows states in the West to buy and sell electricity in real-time. Idaho's landscapes and
energy market are being destroyed by the Green Energy policies of neighboring states,
which will be proven disastrous, perhaps too late if we don't put an end to it now."
