WENDY WILSON being first duly swom upon oath, deposes and says as follows, to-wit:
1. I am the Executive Director of the Snake River Alliance and I make this Affidavit
based on my own knowledge.
2. The Snake River Alliance is a nonprofit entity and is an advocate in Idaho for renew-
able and nuclear-free energy. It raises community awareness about the dangers of nu-
clear waste and power and works to identify and promote sustainable alternatives.
The Snake River Alliance furthers its mission by advocacy, collaboration, education,
grassroots organizing and participation in regulatory proceedings before the Idaho
Public Utilities Commission.
3. Because of the Snake River Alliance's mission and the important issues raised in this

proceeding I felt it was absolutely necessary to participate as an intervenor.
4. Due to the expense of participating in this regulatory proceeding the Snake River Al-
liance decided to partner with the NW Energy Coalition (the "Coalition").
5. The Snake River Alliance along with the Coalition retained the services of John R.
Hammond, Jr., of the law firm of Fisher Pusch LLP to represent them in this matter.
6. The Snake River Alliance does not currently have legal counsel working in-house that
could undertake representation in this case.
7. The Snake River Alliance and the Coalition also retained Amanda Levin of the Na-
tional Resources Defense Council as an expert witness for this case.
8. Despite the partnership with the Coalition, participation in this proceeding is expen-
sive due to its complexity and the public interest therein. Such expenses incurred by
the Snake River Alliance constitute a significant financial hardship for it and directly
impacts its ability to participate in future regulatory proceedings in furtherance of its
interests and the interests of its members.
