Uncertainty affects near-term prospects for new coal-based facilities

Ongoing uncertainty in state and federal policies, and the economy, has prompted Tri-State to reevaluate the long-term resource plan it announced in 2005 that included options for new coal-based generating units. As part of its reevaluation, the association will review how coal-based resources fit into its long-term resource plans.

"Significant changes in the regulatory climate and economy impact development projects and have disproportionately affected the near-term outlook for coal-based resources," said Anderson. "Part of our reevaluation process will review how coal-based resources fit into our long-term resource plans."

Innovations in Colorado

Yesterday I went to Colorado to tour two learning centers and meet with the leaders of the Hope Co-Op Online Learning Academy. This charter school concept is unlike anything in Utah. I understand that it is the only one of its kind in the country.

Hope is an online learning school that uses technology and the energy of local education innovators to leverage labor cost and provide quality and enhanced instruction to at-risk students.

The Co-Op nature of the school was fascinating. The "school" operates much like a district, which provides curriculum, administrative support, centralized services, and training. The "learning centers" where students attend and receive the online and supporting instruction, are operated independently by community leaders and education innovators.

The learning centers are kind of like franchises that sign up with the school. There are several dozen learning centers in the state serving about 3,500 students, with the average learning center serving under 100. While the curriculum and many internal practices are standardized, the learning centers have great flexibility to cater their own educational approach to the needs of their immediate community.

The results were groups of happy and successful children who had struggled in traditional schools, but who begin to achieve and excel in the environment that fits them.

It was quite remarkable.
