- A newspaper article discussing: In 1979, a legislative effort aimed to build a new generator at Palisades Dam in Idaho, with backing from key politicians like Sen. Richard A. Egbert and Rep. Linden B. Bateman. The project, funded by state-issued revenue bonds, would sell power primarily within Idaho, saving money compared to private financing and minimizing environmental impacts. While some East Idaho Republicans opposed it, the initiative aimed to provide affordable power to local consumers.
