The Cedar Creek Windmill Energy project is another example of . added value' to our counties and communi ties as clean, renewable energy generation. This type of energy generation is beneficial to the overall economic well-being of the local communi ties. It stimulates jobs and other sources of income and economic investment to our area. I can think of no other industry with less impact but with as big of an economic upside as wind generation. As is evident this spring, wind is probably our biggest resource, as yucky as that may sound we just as well use the wind for something good besides grumbling about it' s constant presence.

These types of wind projects can benefit our communi ties and counties greatly. Idaho ranks fourth nationally in percentage of population growth - 21.1 percent - from April 2000 to April 2010 according to initial 2010 Census data. That means that Idaho is in much need of additional energy. Idaho needs energy that is secure, local, reliable, protects the environment, creates jobs, and provides technological leadership. Idaho needs renewable energy. Property tax payments from utility-scale wind projects provide much-needed revenue to rural communi ties for building new schools, roads, bridges, and other community infrastructure. Bingham County currently has 64.5 MW of windmill production operating. These windmills generate a tax revenue amount of $376,250 annually for our county. In addition to the additional income, tax revenue, and jobs that wind farms bring, money spent on electricity generated from wind farms stays in the community, creating a ripple effect throughout the local economy . Within a matter of years, thousands of ranchers could be earning far more from electricity sales than from cattle sales. Please continue to support this project.
