Here's a news item from the Associated Press:  BOISE, Idaho (AP) — After more than three hours of testimony, an Idaho House committee decided to delay its vote on whether Idaho should take a breather on wind energy. The House State Affairs Committee members decided on Friday morning to wait until at least Monday before voting on a proposed 2-year moratorium on new wind energy projects. Eastern Idaho residents turned out in force to push for the temporary ban, arguing Idaho needs to assess the benefits of adding more wind energy to its electricity grid. Scott Vanevenhoven, an Idaho Falls resident, told the panel that utility scale wind projects are disrupting lives of people in his region — and boosting power rates. Suzanne Leta Liou of RES Americas countered that a moratorium could scuttle her company's project on southern Idaho's China Mountain.
