The Power to the People Initiative would allow Missourians to vote on a new law that would require at least 25% of our power to come from renewables by 2025 - building Missouri's economy, developing new industries, and creating new jobs that can't be exported.
Volunteer to help collect signatures and put this new renewable energy standard (RES) initiative on the November 2012 ballot. All signatures must be collected by May 6th.
