MO Clean Energy Initiative

The Missouri Clean Energy Initiative is definitely a policy that needs to be put into place. I'm baffled as to why for the last 8 years this bill has been introduced, but has failed to pass. This Initiative will require Missouri investor-owned electric utilities (Ameren, Empire, Aquila, and KCP&L) to get 15% of their electricity from renewable sources by 2021. At the present 86% of Missouri's energy comes from coal, though thousands of cases of asthma and lung cancer cases are a direct effect from the air pollution created by the coal plants.

Think about it and visit the official website: "http://missouricleanenergy.org".

Here's a special note to pass along to everyone in Missouri:

Hi,
On November 4, Missouri voters will have the chance to bring clean, renewable energy to Missouri by Voting Yes for the Clean Energy Initiative. This Initiative will require electric utilities to get 15% of their electricity from clean, renewable sources by 2021. The Clean energy Initiative moves Missouri toward energy independence , utilizing the wind and sun to meet our energy needs instead od relying on fossil fuels imported from out of state. This policy invigorates Missouri's economy, creates new jobs, saves consumers money, and lessens air pollution.
