Once a month, MCE sends a brief update on the work of each of our program areas. If you'd like to receive a program's more frequent updates, click the "update profile" link at the bottom of this email.
Clean Energy Program
Renew Missouri works to advance renewable energy and energy efficiency in Missouri.
- Yesterday, the Missouri Legislature passed SCR 1. The MO Renewable Energy Standard (RES) was previously expected to create 9,000 jobs and generate $2 billion in economic activity for Missouri. Removing the geographic sourcing provision will significantly reduce the likelihood of in-state renewable energy development, new jobs, and economic investment. Please sign our Open Letter asking the Governor to veto this job-killing measure.
- Last week, Renew Missouri, the Wind Coalition, and MOSEIA held a Wind and Solar Day at the State Capitol. The event attracted more than fifty wind and solar industry representatives to the Capitol to talk with legislators about the jobs and economic benefits renewable energy can bring to Missouri.
- On March 29th, it's your chance to visit the Capitol and educate legislators about critical environmental issues. Join us, the Missouri Sierra Club, and Missouri Votes Conservation in Jefferson City on Tuesday, March 29 for Conservation Lobby Day. Experience first-hand how policy-making works and voice your support of sustainable state policy. We'll set up small group meetings with legislators and train you on all the how to's. All you need to do is register today!
Clean Water Program
The MCE Water Program works to promote Missouri's water quality, preserve and restore floodplains and wetlands, and advocate for sustainable stormwater management in our state.- MCE welcomes Thomas Bennett as our new Wetlands/Floodplain coordinator. Thomas has more than five years of experience in natural resource management, monitoring, planning and design. A Florida native, he comes to St. Louis from Oregon where he gained extensive experience using and applying GIS technologies in energy, watershed and environmental work. He also is active in outdoor pursuits and has led bicycle adventure tours in the western U.S. and Hawaii.
