Would-Be Elmore Nuke Plant Financier Shutting Its Doors posted 6/26/2009
The Texas firm that Elmore County nuclear reactor developers identified less than a year ago as their new financial partner told the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Wednesday that it may restructure but for now “is no longer conducting business operations and is in the process of winding up.” The closure of Powered Corporation of Houston is yet more evidence that Alternate Energy Holdings, Inc., a recent transplant from Virginia and would-be developer of a 1,600MW nuclear reactor atop the Snake River outside of Hammett, is incapable of raising cash for its mystery reactor, said Snake River Alliance Executive Director Andrea Shipley.
For Immediate Release: Elmore Commissioners Consider Amendment to Elmore County Comprehensive Plan posted 6/16/2009

Elmore County commissioners on Monday submitted a request to the Planning and Zoning commissioners to examine possible changes to the current comprehensive land use plan’s identification of areas for industrial development. By so doing they acknowledged that the current application to build a nuclear reactor along the Snake River is in violation of the comprehensive plan and their request means the plan, which took several years to develop with countywide input, would have to be significantly altered to allow for the proposed facility.

Elmore Commissioners Express Concerns about Nuke Rezoning

Elmore County commissioners on Monday raised serious questions about whether to rezone 1,300 acres of prime agricultural land for a speculative nuclear reactor, suggesting the project may fly in the face of the county’s comprehensive plan. Commissioners deferred a vote on the project, however, until next Monday.
