More Idahoans energy poor

Report: Increasing number of Idahoans are paying upwards of 10% of their income to energy costs. Sen. Curt McKenzie says Legislature will consider local option tax again, incentives for wind and geothermal and help for home efficiency. Dar Olberding, grain producers: “The Legislature and the governor support renewable energy and efficiency, but development on the ground is lagging. I see more and more legislators who get it. I hope they will come to Boise with a sense of urgency.” Eric Muhr in the Press Tribune. Report here.
