Proposition C – The Missouri Clean Energy Initiative
Last week, the St. Louis City Democratic Central Committee endorsed Proposition C – The Missouri Clean Energy Initiative.
Proposition C requires that Missouri’s investor owned utilities get 15% percent of their energy from renewable sources by 2021. Renewable energy is power generated from wind, solar, landfill gas, biomass, and small hydroelectric projects.
We now have an opportunity to make Missouri a national leader in clean, alternative energy – recharging our economy, creating good jobs and reducing energy costs.
Join the Proposition C effort by going to their website and signing up your support at www.missouricleanenergy.org.
Currently, 82% of Missouri’s electricity comes from coal at a cost of $9 billion a year, while only .01% comes from renewable sources.
Additionally, the emergence of clean renewable energy in Missouri is expected to create tens of thousands of jobs across the state and lead to billions of dollars in economic development while addressing climate change. In fact, by 2021 the Clean Energy Initiative will have the same effect as permanently removing 2 million cars from the road.
Not only is this initiative going to start creating more jobs and jumpstart our economy in Missouri, this initiative is going to save Missouri energy consumers $331 million over a 20-year period.
Vote YES on Proposition C on November 4th!
