But it\u2019s unlikely to be achieved. The electricity will be there only when the wind unpredictably blows \u2014 perhaps 40 hours a week, 2,200 hours a year, for a few hours or days at a stretch.

The huge Lava Ridge industrial wind farm would be located just two miles from Craters Of the Moon National Monument. It would cause destruction of magnificent views, kill numerous bats and raptors, decrease surface water flow and adversely affect farming and ranching.<\/p>\n<p>Worst of all, the electricity generated at Lava Ridge won\u2019t stay in Lava Ridge or even Idaho. It will be exported \u2014 primarily to power-hungry California.
