Bill > HCR8

This resolution urges the Missouri General Assembly to advance a comprehensive Green New Deal-style agenda focusing on clean energy, agricultural sustainability, infrastructure improvement, and environmental protection. The resolution calls for transformative actions including generating 100% of Missouri's electricity from renewable sources by 2040, creating job training programs in renewable energy, incentivizing farmers to adopt renewable energy systems, and supporting climate-resilient agricultural practices. It aims to promote economic development by expanding renewable energy infrastructure, supporting electric vehicle adoption, investing in public transportation, and protecting natural resources. The resolution emphasizes protecting vulnerable communities, establishing tax incentives for clean energy investments, creating an advisory council of farmers and energy producers, and requiring annual progress reports from state conservation and natural resources departments. By proposing these multifaceted strategies, the resolution seeks to position Missouri as a leader in sustainable economic growth, job creation, and environmental stewardship, with a particular focus on supporting rural communities and addressing climate change challenges.
