Small firm names another site for Idaho nuke plant
By KBCI Web Staff
BOISE, Idaho (AP) — A small company that's pushing a billion-dollar nuclear power plant in Idaho now says it wants to build another one at a different location.
Alternate Energy Holdings, Inc. says it's asking Payette County to amend a plan that governs land use, so it can build a nuclear power plant on approximately 5,100 acres in western Idaho. Billionaire investor Warren Buffett's MidAmerican Nuclear Energy abandoned a proposal to build a nuclear power plant in Payette County in early 2008, saying it did not make economic sense. But Don Gillispie, Alternate Energy's chief executive officer, says his projects will bring benefits to rural communities. Gillispie says he's still trying to win approval for a plant in Elmore County east of Boise. That's after ditching another proposal in Owyhee County. |
