Stop the Lava Ridge Wind Turbine Project

The Issue

The proposed Project of 400 turbines would make it Idaho’s largest wind farm to date. It is located primarily on federal lands approximately 20 miles northeast of Twin Falls, ID, within the counties of Jerome, Lincoln, and Minidoka.

The 40 acres of battery storage dispersed within the Lava Ridge Project will be considered a hazardous area, after 20 to 25 years.  If the batteries melt down they will need to be replaced and reclamation will be needed. How will the hazardous toxic waste be handled?  

The substations and battery storage areas will need security. The security will limit public access.  LS Power has installed these battery storage units in California and other states. Their large battery storage facilities in California have been having issues recently.

Please sign to let the developers know you DON'T want these harmful turbines in your back yard!
