Only Dynamis and and some commentators and politicians call it “green”.

Are there any reports about air quality in the Lad Canyon area by the cement plant. I understand they burn tires there for power and ship them in from all over.

Dynamis might need another subsidy when they can’t get enough tires to burn or the price to ship them in goes way up.

The Mafia was pushing trash burning projects in NY State 20 yrs ago on small towns with gullible county commissioners.

Dynamis should have gone to Payette county. It would have sailed through and they could sell the power to the AEI nuclear plant to re-sell to ????

If it’s “green” we don’t need to follow rules or respect what’s best for the community. “Green” means “good” “great” and “go-ahead” without question. It’s the best way to get the green voters too. Absolute crazy considering a primary fuel source is old tires trucked in from Portland, Seattle, and SaltLake.

Good point CS: The free county money + the free fed money + the free trash & tires to burn + the protection from hazmat clean-up on the county owned land + the 3x normal power purchase rate from IPUC + a DEQ that will probably issue a perit based on a best guess of pollution.

Not sure whether Fortistar qualifies or not but their energy sales to Idaho Power are at a much lower negotiated rate than Dynamis. The 1603 program has been popular with wind developers also, over 300 million in the last three years to projects in Idaho alone. The renewable energy fight isn’t really about green energy. It is about getting to the trough and lining the pockets of developers such as General Electric and Warren Buffet
