In addition to an independent engineering review of this expensive project, shouldn’t there also be an Environmental Impact Study (EIS)? I noticed in independent research on WTEs that Sierra Club affiliates sought a court order in January 2012 to enjoin a similar project in Puerto Rico (of which Dynamis was once a partner) citing an inadequate EIS. I also wonder if Ada County needs legislative authority in the form of specific statutes and regulations to proceed with the Dynamis deal. According to a 2010 Directory of U.S. WTEs that 25 states, Puerto Rico and the Disctrict of Columbia have such statues and regulations that recognize WTEs as viable “renewable energy” resources. Idaho was not listed, but that was two years ago. So many things that should have been considered before the rush to judgment to approve something that could have statewide ramifications.

Have a good day.

This is good, but also troubling that we must reward the newspaper for doing what the newspaper should do anyway.

Elections soon. Hope the interviews with candidates have some questions about Dynamis. Legislative and other candidates in both Ada and Canyon county should have to answer these questions as the airshed, electricity costs and subsidy’s involved cross county lines
Make a list and check it twice

I agree. Nice job, Cynthia, Statesman. Thank you to Commissioner Case for giving the public a voice.

Arrogance is the one word to describe the Sharon and Rick.
The Statesman article and opinion today are spot on. This project is being rushed too fast without the proper vetting. Here is the recording of yesterday CC meeting. http://goo.gl/Y3lh6

From what I read both in your blog and in the Statesman the letter from the County Engineer to the Commissioners and his Boss, Meg, is hardly a personnel matter. I believe Mr. Case was right.
