St. Louis Post Dispatch: The Missouri Coalition for the Environment was lauding this afternoon the likely presence of a ballot measure in November, dubbed the Clean Energy Initiative, that calls for a renewable electricity standard (RES). Supporters - Missourians for Cleaner, Cheaper Energy - submitted petitions last Sunday that contained the signatures of 170,000 registered voters from around the state; 92,000 were required. "Given that the signature gathering only began two months ago, this is a significant accomplishment," the coalition said in a statement. Now, supporters plan to "conduct an educational campaign to help the public understand the importance of renewable energy and of reducing Missouri's dependence on coal," the coalition added. The proposal could generate some controversy from the energy industry, among others. It also might serve as an incentive to woo environmentalist voters (i.e., likely Democrats) to the polls in November.
