Thanks for the good info.

[size 1]The answers seem fairly obvious and scary enough to me.[/size]
Have conservation organizations like TU weighed in on this issue yet? Preserving the endemic whitefish and cisco is part of their mandate and organizing opposition needed to fight this would be something right up their alley. It also seems to me that if this project was proceeding, that organizations like the "Center for Biologic diversity" would petition the courts for emergency listing of the endemic fish under the ESA. I realize there are negatives associated with listing, but it would also help in derailing this dumb project. Any thoughts?
Finally, my father-in-law works as a maintenance manager at IPP in Delta. He told me a couple of weeks ago that the plans to build a 3rd unit out there have been put on indefinite hold. If our state is so hard up for electricity, then it is unimaginable that this plan would be eliminated. Also, plans for 1 or 2 smaller coal plants and a wind powered facility in Millard county are proceeding. I just do not see any justification for this electricity shell game. Let us know if there is more we can do. Keep up the good work.
