The Show Me State runs on fossil fuels: nearly 85% of the state's electricity generation is fueled by coal. The rest is produced using a mix of nuclear, natural gas and very small amounts of renewable energy. However, these stats don't tell the whole story. There is hope for renewable energy in Missouri in the form of a Renewable Portfolio Standard that sets a 15% target of renewables in the state's electricity mix by 2021. Even better, a portion of this target is reserved for solar PV systems.
