RE: Cedar Creek Wind Project
I would like to say that I support the Cedar Creek Wind Project and that I think it would be
great for the community.
This project has been in the planning and approval process for the last few years. It seems
that now the public is against all windfarms without consideration oT the merits of each of
the individual projects. This particular project is not as visible as the other windfarms in
the area that are causing the uproar. In addition, I don't think it is fair that the utility
companies make decisions about alternative energy. I understand the Cedar Creek Project is
ready to be built and the utility companies are trying to stop the project.

PUC Commission
We have become aware of the plans to construct a wind farm in eastern
Idaho and would like to extend our support of such a project. It
will be a way that Idaho can support the federal government in their pursuit of renewable
energy resources. With the influx of people into Idaho, more electricity will be needed and
with the wind farm Idaho would not have to rely on other states for electricity, and might
possibly be able to even sell power to other states. with the economy being so difficult to
manage this project will provide opportunities for employment, which will lessen the need for
state support for the unemployed. These jobs will help feed monies into the local businesses.
As people earn money, they tend to spend money. As we understand it, the state would receive
revenue from the farms as well.
Putting this wind farm on property that is otherwise not useable will
be taking advantage of such land to help the state. We realize there
are concerns about how it will look and its affect on the environment.
As we have driven through areas where wind farms have been built, at
first we were amazed at them. Before long, they just blended into
the surrounding areas and were not so noticeable. We hope that the
Cedar Creek Wind Proj ect will be approved, as it will be a benefit to Idaho.
Sincerely,
Marion and Carole Sawyer
