Comment: "Historically, power companies like Idaho Power are a regulated monopoly. Theyhave a vested interest to increase barriers to entry to their market, where they are the sole
seller. Their recent initiatives to reduce or eliminate net metering options for consumers is aviolation of the trust we have placed on them. Solar power and other sustainable means of
generation are necessary for our power independence and progress. Don't allow the financialbenefits of Idaho power to infringe on the rights and freedom of consumers. We allow the
power companies to earn a return without competition, they should therefore accommodateconsumers and align their interest with the good of the communities they serve. If they are not
willing to do that, they should loose their monopoly protection and the special accommodationwe make for them."
