Please describe your comment briefly:
I live in the city of Eagle, a growing community with growing energy needs. We value low
energy prices and the economic development they bring.
However, keeping those benefits in place as our community continues to grow requires an
investment in the infrastructure. In an ideal world that infrastructure comes from the
private sector, using funding that is both good for business and eventually good for the
public.
Our nation runs on resources that are becoming less available and more expensive. Some of
those resources are controlled by people who are outside our borders. So it is quite obvious
to me that our country must develop more of our own sources of energy, as well as energy that
fits our needs and provides power when and how we need it most.
It is with those things in mind that I write in support of the efforts Dynamis Energy has
made to move forward a waste-to-energy project at the Ada County Landfill.
While I do not have deep knowledge on the internal workings of the project, I like the
approach and believe that it represents the direction we need to go as a state. From the
potential cost savings for the county to energy efficiencies we would have here in the
Treasure Valley, this project has great potential.
