On Monday, our legislators will return to the Capitol for the final seven weeks of this year’s legislative session. As they set their priorities for rest of the session, we hope you will join us in continuing to urge them to consider Missouri’s energy future. Despite the recent earthquake and tsunami in Japan, a Fox News poll, conducted by Anderson Robbins Research/Shaw & Company Research on March 14 – 16, found that a majority of American voters continue to support the use of nuclear power in the U.S. And we at Missourians for a Balanced Energy Future, like you, remain convinced that nuclear power must remain an option for our state’s energy future.

While we continue to monitor the tragic situation in Japan, we remain committed to our belief that nuclear power must remain an option to address Missouri’s future energy needs. Instead of discarding the possibility of nuclear power, we must examine what happened in Japan and work to learn as much from this crisis as possible so that we avoid a similar situation in the future.
