Dear Karl:

Request that Idaho Power Company include the Leadore, Idaho area wind
farm in their future power requirements for a large savings to their rate payers.
Case No. IPC-04-18- Order No. 29614
Capital Enterprises, Inc.Warren Chapman and the general public does not
understand why Idaho Power Company has refused the offer made to them

wind farm, that would save the rate payers and customers of Idaho Power

energy production within this comment period, December 3 to December 23
2004, they will not be looking after the following
a. The General Public s future energy cost
b. Our National security (dependent on foreign oil)c. We are at ward. We have military and other personal in danger. (Probably
oil reasons)
e. Idaho Power Company and/or their Associates are turning
down a one hundred million dollar plus energy tax credits.
This does not include energy production cost savings to the
general public.
Idaho Power Company and/or their parent company,
Idacorp, and Chairman of the Board- John Miller, are not
looking after their stockholders.
Does Idaho Power Company or their Associates have some personal gains by
not getting involved in the Leadore, Idaho area wind farm?

and a copy of Idaho Power Company s answer to the Idaho Public Utilities
Commission. This is required under title 61 of the Idaho Code and the

comments about Case No. IPC-04-18 and Order No. 29614 by December
, 2004, that Idaho Power Company and the Idaho Public Utilities

Idaho Power Company s customers.
The reasons that Capital Enterprises, Inc. and Warren Chapman are requesting
this information is so they can let the general public know about Idaho Power
Company s decision. There are over 200 000 people that are their customers
and/or stockholders of Idacorp, chairman of the Board, John Miller, which is
the parent company of Idaho Power Company.
The offer was given to Idaho Power Company because Warren Chapman
personal situation and health problems.

Utilities Commission on Case No. IPC-04-18 and Order No. 29614 is not
satisfactory to Warren Chapman and the general public, we will have no other
choice to consider a class action lawsuit in Federal Court to get an
explanation about this Case.
