Episode 4 - Return of Lava Ridge?


Listen Later

This episode of Spudservative: Idaho Politics Unpeeled digs into the Southwest Intertie Project (SWIP) power lines threatening Magic Valley’s farmland and communities. These 500kV towers could pave the way for the Lava Ridge Wind Turbine project’s revival—something no Idahoan wanted. We break down why Jerome County’s permit delay isn’t enough to stop this.


Show up to the Jerome County Commissioners Meeting on October 7, 2025, at 6:00 PM (300 N. Lincoln Ave., Jerome, ID) to say no to SWIP.
