Idaho Tapping Into Wind
Thursday, August 26, 2010 at 4:23PM Idaho is investing in wind and doing it on a grand scale. The opening of a 10,000 acre wind farm is the first of what I presume will be many wind farms throughout the region. Governor Otter made some keys points about the project. The first being that Idaho was going to make use of all it's resources. I applaud the governor for being forward thinking regarding energy and not taking any solutions of the table. Secondly, he rightly recognizes that the project will add JOBS to the region. This quote sums it up:
"The renewable energy industry is breathing new life into the Idaho frontier. We're aggressively harnessing our abundant natural resources for growth because that helps our economy, generating not only electricity but career opportunities right here at home."
The project is both a private/public initiative using funds from a US Treasury Grant for renewable energy. However, the grant is set to expire at the end of the year. It is not clear whether this affects the project or if the funding for completion is already in place. All I know is this one of the first positive things I have seen my tax dollars applied to in quite some time.
