So you are our representative, what are you and the other reps going to do to correct laws that allow us regular people to be abused by the current system and big corporations to profit? What is going to be done to make infrastructure upgrades that will not be used by us be paid by those who use it? I would say if Idaho residential energy is completely covered by what we already produce (including the annual increase in our residential population), and if normal business use (non mega ton wattage businesses) is covered, then we can prove there is no need to shut down coal or create more renewables. This should be easy to gather (how much energy is produced now, how much residential and business customers use minus what mega ton watt users use). The power companies already know those figures (if they will share them). That is enough to prove small business and residential users do not need the upgrades or change to renewables and therefore the burden to pay for changes should be on those who will use the energy and not the rest of us. We should not be used to subsidise other states mandates to change energy sources and create more unreliable energy when coal and nuclear have worked great for a long time.
Thank you so much for this insight!

Data Centers with their solar farms .. now it's going to be really focused on Ai
Stargate
I'm not a fan of it.
