BOISE, Idaho (AP) — A new poll commissioned by The Idaho Statesman shows consumers in the Gem State are less enthusiastic about wind energy if it means paying a little extra on their monthly utility bills.

In addition, a majority of respondents had a favorable attitude toward Idaho Power Co., the state’s biggest utility, and the state agency charged with regulating the industry, the newspaper reported in a story this week (http://bit.ly/XkA3ZA).
