Hydro One operates under Canadian law and is governed by the Green Energy Act and other energy policies.Avista would be operating under foreign laws if this merger is approved.The founderof Hydro One is Maurice Strong,a declared socialist who was considered the Father of False Global Warning,and was the promoter of Global Governance by the UN,where he was the Energy Program Founder and architect of the Kyoto Protocol. Hydro One intends to implement their renewable energy projects through Avista,and because of their green energy policies Hydro One customers have experienced severe rate increases,to the point of having their electricity shut off due to inabilityto pay.Hydro One's rates are currently over double from Avista rates (28 cents vs 8 cents).It is anticipated the same will happen to Avista customers should this merger be finalized. This puts the Avista in a very precarious position as a utilitythat serves customers in several U.S.states.Avista customers would be at the mercy of foreign government decisions. Please don't allow this merger.

I respectfully implore the committee to decline the offer from Hydro One,Avista Corp.,or any of its affiliates from taking over Idaho Power or any other utilitycompany in the United States.United States utilitycompanies should not be run by a forgein organization.This forgein company will not be abiding by United States law,but rather,forgein law.This will put a hugefinancial burden on current customers through raised prices and an unfair market for Idahoans.This merger would mean the end of utilities for thousands of customers.There are those that depend on Idaho Power prices to maintain heat in the winter or coolness in the summer.Every part of our infrastructure would be negatively affected by this unnecessarymerger.This will negatively affect small businesses,hospitals,schools,citizens,corporate businesses, and government buildings.Not only will our power bills be nearly tripled,but all the aforementioned negatively affected areas will be forced to raised their prices on their goods and wares to offset the cost of their power bill.Overall,this is not a good deal for anyone except those that are going to be making money off this deal.I implore you to put the considerations of the people and businesses that this will affect over that of those who will be making money from this deal.Again,thank you for taking the time to read my comment.

My primary objection is that I believe it is not right that a foreign company own such an extensive part of Idaho infrastructure.I do not want a foreign policy,agendas,and politics to affect Idaho power customers. This acquisition would mean the Province of Ontario (which holds 41%of the shares of Hydro One)will be wielding direct influence and decision making power over 13 dams and much infrastructure in the Pacific Northwest,just before the re-negotiation of an international treaty with Canada (Columbia RiverTreaty). This is foolish. Please,for the safeguarding of American sovereignty,to protect our infrastructure as "our own,"and to keep foreign policies and agenda out of Idaho and the United States,reject this acquisition.
