Beware of Idaho's "Nomad" Nuclear Plant! Alternative Energy Holdings Inc. is an out-of-state venture bent on building a merchant nuclear power plant somewhere in Idaho. Only thing is, there is no telling where. For months AEHI, who owns Idaho Energy Complex, has been selling their plan to build a plant in Owyhee County. After assuring lawmakers, business people, and the citizens of Owyhee County that the plant was perfectly-suited for the chosen site they changed their minds and announced on April 4th their intentions to move the plant 15 miles up the Snake Rver into Elmore County. The 1,400 acre site they have identified in Elmore County is on the north shore of the Snake River, and very close to Mountain Home Air Force Base. A merchant plant sells the power it produces to buyers outside of the state in which it resides. This means that Idahoans will be providing the land and water for a nuclear power plant, but the state will receive very few benefits. There are no guarantees that high-paying jobs will go to Idahoans. There are no guarantees that AEHI has the economic, or legal legitimacy to support the plant long-term. There is a guarantee, that if this plant is built and operates in Idaho, the nuclear waste will be produced and stay in Idaho. Nuclear power is not green and it is not clean. We live in a beautiful state, and our rivers are the life-blood of our economy, our recreational opportunities, and our souls. But it's more than that. This land is old and wise. We live on it, but it is not our property. These rivers flow via forces that are much more ancient than the humans who devised nuclear power. We must say no to supposed solutions that are really just creating greater problems. In rivers across the country, that have served the interests of nuclear power plants, the water table has dropped significantly every year. That's because nuclear power plants, even "dry" plants require water to cool the heat generated through nuclear production. Isn't this clear? Why would we need power if we have no water? No water, we die. To even consider this plant is absurd. All the risks, for what?-to sell power out-of-state, while we hold the waste? There are already 750,000 barrels of nuclear waste sitting only 600 feet above the Snake River Aquifer--and they are leaking. Please. Tell everyone you know about this. Now is a key moment for Idahoans to find their voice, and send a clear message that we will not be the national locale for Nuclear Production. If we do not even allow ourselves to see the possibilities of renewable energy like wind and geo-thermal, we will never transform the frame of our energy apparatus. If we have no alternative vision that is truly clean and green we will continue to be mired in untenable "solutions". Change, requires vision and commitment--we are selling our vision short with nuclear power.
