~~~~~f=~~:~rr~~I~~: ~a paying customer of Idaho Power, I believe that the bulk of the
proceeds from the sale of air pollution credits should go to the customers. Shareholders
of Idaho Power deserve a piece of the windfall as well, but it is the customers who have
been carrying the burden and should get most of the reward. Additionally, some of the
funds should be directed towards educating the public about energy issues - especially the
need to invest in demand reduction and conservation, as well as renewable energy and the
energy efficiency. Also, schools should be provided an opportunity to receive grants and
other financial incentives to become more energy efficient in their operations. Thank you
for putting my comments in the record for this case.

Air is a public resource, shared in common by not only all people, but all life,
therefore it is my belief that benefits of cleaning up the air, should be shared by all
for the common good. It is also important that this money, in this case $77 million
should be invested in improvements to the common good, not merely spent on existingproblems.
I would ask the PUC to do just that, to invest this money in solutions. The money
should be split among Idaho Power investors to encourage more investment in cleaning up
the companies coal plants, a portion of the money should go to energy efficiency,
conservation programs, and renewables in the form of grants to ratepayers in residential,
commercial, industrial and agriculture. Money should also be allocated to an "energy
education program" in the schools that would incorporate efficiency, conservation,
renewables and education. An example of such a program is the Castle ford Solar for
Schools project, where energy efficiency and a net metered solar installation created a
3KW project that also includes classroom benefits.
My suggestion is that 10% of the money go to Idaho Power investors, 10% to the
energy education project and the remaining 80% be split among the four rate groups. These
allocations could be managed through the Energy Oivision of the Idaho Oepartment of Water
Resources, which has similar programs already in existence.
Please make these comments part of the public record in this manner.
Sincerely yours,
Bill Chisholm
