Ballot Measures: Propostion C

This is the third in a series of articles on Missouri ballot measures.

Prop C will mandate that 2% of electricty sold in MO in 2011 be generated from renewable sources and will ratchet up to 15% by 2021.  A study on the costs of the measure show peak cost at 68 cents per hoursehold per month, with the average cost of the first ten years of the plan at 31 cents per hoursehold per month.  According to the Post-Dispatch, there is no organized oppostiion to the measure and it has been endorsed by the Kansas City power provider KCP&L.  Nuclear power, which St. Louis-based AmerenUE has recently proposed building a new reactor to generate, would not count as a source of renewable power.  I’m voting YES on Propostion C.
