Please describe your comment briefly:
Federal requirements to purchase electricity at much higher rates from wind turbines in
Idaho circumvents the plan which Idaho Power has in place to keep electric rates low.
Alternative energy sounds good but when actual numbers surface then the rates are often much
higher than hydro power or natural gas turbines. These contracts need to be evaluated and
the federal requirement to buy from the alternative energy projects should be reexamined and
changed for the benefit of Idaho citizens. There are alot of colorblind individuals in D.C.
and Green' isn't always green.

Please describe your comment briefly:
Idaho Power recently sent a flier with our bill stating it doesn't want to pay alternative
energy sources for their power. I believe it is very important that all alternative energy
sources are encouraged and acknowledged as viable sources. Ida o Power should be doing more
itself to reduce its coal burning power plants and should, itself, be investing in
alternative energy sources.
Thank you.
