Comment: "Idaho Public Utilities Commission should choose customers over shareholdersand save money while closing coal! I am excited to hear that Idaho Power is closing coal early
but that should not be done at the cost of hardworking Idaho families and individuals. IdahoPower should choose their customers over shareholders and use Idaho Conservation Leagues
plan to pay for this closure. The past few years have been tough times financially for hundredsof Idahoans and I hope that Idaho Power chooses to do the right thing and adopt this plan."

Comment: "Like any major asset, Idaho Power has to borrow money to pay for building and
maintaining a coal plant. We customers repay this investment over many years. Currently, ourelectric rates are designed to cover Bridgers costs by 2034. To match the repayment with the
accelerated retirement of Bridger, Idaho Power wants to collect about $27 million additionaldollars each year through 2030. We can reduce this amount with your help. Part of this total
includes Idaho Powers cost to borrow money. They claim they need to charge us 7.8%interest. But, that is a choice they are making to benefit their shareholders. Instead, Idaho
Power could choose to use modern financial tools to reduce this interest rate to closer to 5%.This would save us millions each year while still closing coal quickly. Continuing to allow
solar credits from private systems on their grid is another great way to save generating costsand help restore salmon. Encouraging and expanding energy credits for solar and on demand
water heaters and heat pumps is another way to cut costs and help conservation efforts. TellIdaho Power to choose customers over shareholders and save money while closing coal and
being good natural resource stewards. Idaho Public Utilities Commission should certainlychoose customers over shareholders and save money while closing coal and being good
natural resource stewards."

Comment: "The health and stability of Idaho's natural ecosystems are deeply important to
Idaho cultural heritage and community identity. The move towards clean energy is pivotal toconserving our lands, so the closure of the Bridger coal plant is an incredible victory for our
future. However, Idaho citizens tend towards being low-income, working class people. Manyof us live under the federal poverty line -- which has made supporting green energy and
fighting climate change very difficult, because so often the costs of transition are pushed ontothe public. Idaho Public Utilities Commission must choose to protect the livelihood of its
customers over the profits of shareholders. It is not private citizens who are most responsiblefor the costs and pollution caused by fossil fuels. I ask you to do the right thing: protect
Idahoans from unnecessary financial hardship, while still putting a stop to coal production andpromoting green energy."

egregiously charge rate payers to cover the cost of the changes to the power industry. Theyshould have been planning for it and saving for it out of a fraction of their outrageous profits
over the past 20 years. Similar to rate payers saving for more efficient HVAC, appliances,cars, etc."

Comment: "Idaho Power is attempting to rob its customers at with a chosen interest rate of7.8%!!! Putting the blame on our needed move to renewable and clean energy and the early
retirement of the Bridger coal plant. This is an unnecessary choice the monopoly is making fortheir increased profit ($27 million more per year!!!) out of their customers' pockets. It's not for
energy produced or used but for profits that can be made under false pretenses and headymonopoly business. Idaho Public Utilities Commission should choose customers over
shareholders and save money while closing coal!"

Comment: "While I applaud Idaho Power exiting the Bridger coal fired plant early, it seems in the best interest of the people of the state of Idaho to do so at the lowest reasonable interest
rate. The savings could be used to fund plants that generate clean power. Thank you."

Comment: "Idaho Public Utilities Commission should choose customers over shareholders
and save money while closing coal! Please close all operating coal plants as rapidly as possible (before their intended end of life) and ramp up wind and solar installations to replace
them as rapidly as possible. The latest IPCC reports are clear that these actions (among many more actions across all sectors) are urgently needed if life (including human civilization) is
going to continue to thrive on our planet. Nothing else matters if you can't do this."
