Hello,
I am writing on behalf of the Cedar Creek Wind Project in SE Idaho. I currenlty live out of
state, but I have lived the majority of my life in the mountain west, and own residential
property that I am currently renting out (and paying nearly $2ØØØ/year in property taxes on)
in Madison County near the proposed project.
I believe strongly that this project should be approved. There are numerous compelling local
benefits stemming from this project:
1. Tax revenues--the county would get 3% of the gross revenues of the project which will
directly enhance the services and quality of life for all of Eastern Idaho via libraries, law
enforcement, schools, etc.
2. Jobs--both direct from construction (apparently about iØØ) and then ongoing maintenance
and operation (IØ full time positions), as well as indirect through security services,
contractors, gas stations, hotels, restaurants, etc. serving those working on the project.
Taxes will then also be paid on this income in the form of state income taxes, sales taxes,
etc. All of this reducing the tax burden on local residents, and at the same time increasing
the services available to residents.
3. Energy policy--with gas prices at $4/gallon and climbing, reduced domestic oil drilling,
political uncertainty with many of our oil suppliers in the Mideast, and a federal energy
policy that encourages renewable energy, now is the time. This is where we walk the talk and
show that we are serious about clean, renewable, alternative energy. The federal government
will continue to encourage and fund through tax subsidies such wind projects, and if they
aren' t built in Idaho, then Idahoans will still be subsidizing the rest of the country, but
without the benefits.
4. Local use. As a net energy importer, any new energy generated in Idaho will be used by
local homes and business, which makes it more likely that my property in Idaho will be
powered by clean renewable energy- - something that is important to me.
Thank you for your consideration.

To whom it may concern:
I am in favor of the Cedar Creek Wind Project as a means for Idaho to contribute to its own
energy consumption by means of renewable energy.
I am aware that there are federal policies which support renewable energy, but that only
those states which build projects will benefit from the grants. I believe Idahoans which
contribute should be entitled to the funds to be used in Idaho.
Thank you.
