The Sierra Club has an opportunity NOW to make a difference in Missouri’s long-term energy future.
If more coal-burning power plants are allowed to be built, the state will be locked into expensive dirty technology for the next 30-50 years. Even without considering coal’s external health and environmental costs, wind and efficiency are cleaner and cheaper long-term investments for energy in the state.
The long-term impact of committing to more coal-burning power plants in Missouri (Springfield, Kansas City area (Weston), St. Joseph, east of Kansas City) is significant in that these decisions will affect:
- the future cost of electricity to heat and cool our homes.
- the health of our children, our friends and our neighbors.
- the livability of our communities.
- Missouri’s long-term economic future.
and the opportunity to address global warming in a meaningful way.
