We support Idaho Power's efforts to conserve and have installed the most efficient electric appliances we can find.WealsosupportwhatshouldbeIdahoPower's goal;to diversify energy production and eventually eliminate coalgeneration.At some point,the hydro power we have enjoyed for years will become more expensive and even limited as the issues associated with salmon and steelhead are addressed. So,Idaho Power should embrace and encourage and even subsidize solar generation (and for that matter,wind).Please continue to include us in this study and the IPUC process.
