Lava Ridge: A Wind of Controversy Sweeping Idaho

  • Summary

  • The Lava Ridge Wind Project in Idaho. A report by Eric Parker of Idaho details concerns about the project's financial structure, environmental impact, and potential for conflict, citing self-dealing by LS Power, disregard for local communities, cultural heritage, and the risk of escalating tensions with the Bureau of Land Management. A proposed bill authored by US Senator Jim Risch of Idaho the "Don't Do it Act," aims to grant states the authority to veto such federal land-use projects, thereby addressing the concerns raised in the report. The report urges immediate legislative action to halt the project and increase oversight of the BLM. The bill proposes amending the Federal Land Policy and Management Act to allow for the denial of applications for solar or wind energy development projects based on state legislative disapproval. www.frankchurchfoundation.org
