2016 MO Governor's race: on Energy & Oil


Chris Koster: New EPA regulations on CO2 emissions are federal overreach

Koster said Missouri will join 20 states in suing the EPA for exceeding its authority in issuing regulations that set limits on carbon emissions.˙Koster noted that Missouri's energy producers estimate that complying would cost the state more than $6 billion. "Renewable energy is a vital piece of our state's energy portfolio. It is essential, however, that we achieve this goal in an economically responsible way that makes sense for Missouri. I will continue to fight against federal overreach."

Peter Kinder: The world has embraced renewable energy; this is the future

Kinder spoke at the all-day "Energy, Efficiency and the Environment" conference at Crowder College. Kinder kicked off the workshop by praising Crowder for its past work in the renewable energy field. He said that while renewable energy is now familiar to most Americans, with the development of hybrid cars, bio-fuels, wind power and solar energy panels, there's more to come. "The world has embraced renewable energy and seems to be doing so more each day, so this is the future," he said.
