Power-plant ban fails House panel; Senate backs 'good neighbor bill' 08:45 AM MST on Thursday, February 9, 2006 Associated Press ktvb.com BOISE -- A proposed moratorium on coal-fired power plants was killed Wednesday in the House. Lawmakers on the Environment and Energy Committee objected to some provisions, including making applying for a permit during the moratorium a felony. Concern over coal-fired plants has arisen because Sempra Energy, a California utility, is planning a $1 billion facility in Jerome County. And a Connecticut-based developer wants to erect an $850 million coal-gasification plant near Pocatello. Separately, Idaho senators voted 26 to eight for a Democrat-backed measure requiring counties where power plants are proposed to inform residents in adjacent counties. Senate Minority Leader Clint Stennett, a Ketchum Democrat, called the measure a good-neighbor bill. It now moves to the House. ==== So applying for a permit in Idaho will not be a felony!
