Report: MO Not Making The Grade For Energy Efficiency - OzarksFirst.com: "COLUMBIA, Mo. - The report card is in, and when it comes to taking steps to lower energy costs, reduce pollution, and save consumers money, Missouri isn't making the grade. The ranking from the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy puts Missouri 44th in the nation, down one spot from last year.
Andy Knott, Missouri Beyond Coal Campaign Representative for the Sierra Club, says while the score is disappointing, it does point to the many opportunities available right now for the state to improve and comply with the Environmental Protection Agency's Clean Power Plan. He says the state's utility companies can lead the way by expanding their incentive programs.
"The utilities just need to enlarge these programs so even more ratepayers can benefit from it," Knott says. "They should be advertising them better so ratepayers know about the programs and can take advantage of them."
