As the crow flies, I’m about 50 miles from where they want to build it. What I had read before they had the meeting up in Payette last night was that this same company wanted to build a nuclear plant further south—I believe near Grand View.
In terms of water usage needed, I would have to think that might be a little better, as it would be right by the Snake River and C.J. Strike Dam.
I was born and raised in Payette and still have friends and family there. The ones I have talked to are cautiously in favor but want more info. Particularly the farmers. I think the town will support it in the end.
