ECA MIA in MO? No!

I am pleased to announce that the Easy Connection Act (ECA) has officially passed!!!

The ECA establishes uniform procedures to allow Missourians to connect a small renewable energy system to the electric grid in a quick, safe, and reliable manner. The ECA also establishes "true net metering", implemented in 41 states and Washington D.C., which credits an owner of a renewable energy system at a one-to-one rate for electricity "sold" back to the grid. Most basically, the Easy Connection Act makes it easier and more cost effective for a Missourian to install a renewable energy system onto a home or business. This victory is a critical first step to bring Missouri's renewable energy policy up to the national standard. The Easy Connection Act passed as an amendment to the "Green Power Initiative Bill" in the House on May 8, by a vote of 146-6, and passed the Senate on May 14 by a vote of 34-0. With renewable energy bills passing with such bi-partisan fanfair the future of renewable energy is shaping up to be a unifying movement in the U.S. and abroad. Start earning back from the grid today!
