It is essential that the state’s energy system meet the health, welfare and economic needs of its citizens with particular emphasis on vulnerable populations.

- Undertaking Regulatory Improvements: Modifications to our state’s energy laws and regulations are necessary to expand opportunities, deliver enhanced benefits to Missourians and guide Missouri into our energy future.
- Stimulating innovation, Emerging Technologies and Job Creation: Missouri can be an energy innovation leader through the creation of research initiatives, development of a skilled and dedicated workforce, education of the public, support of local industry and fostering a business climate that attracts innovation and creativity.
