CleanTech Biofuels, Inc. (OTCBB: CLTH) should have investors watching this stock closely. Yesterday after the markets closed, the company issued a press release announcing that it applauded the adoption of Proposition C, Renewable Portfolio Standards, in Missouri.
This "Missouri Clean Energy Initiative" requires the state's three large investor-owned utilities to get 15 percent of their electricity from renewable sources by 2021. With Missouri's adoption of these new standards, more than half the states in America have adopted Renewable Portfolio Standards.
Passage of this initiative tightens the voluntary standards that the Missouri legislature passed last year, which require companies only to make "good-faith efforts" to reach a goal of 11 percent renewables by 2020.
The overwhelming support for this initiative among the voting public and even the utilities industry proves that the American public and the energy industry are strongly in favor of developing local sources of energy. In Missouri the new law passed with over 66% of the votes cast in favor of adoption. Ameren UE and Empire District Electric Company, two of the largest utilities in the state officially remained neutral on the initiative, while Kansas City Power and Light supported it.
CleanTech is currently implementing its technology for producing renewable biomass from municipal solid waste at a commercial site in Chicago, Illinois and is evaluating a number of additional sites for commercial development.
Investors are urged to continue to monitor the progress of the company!
Before the news was released, the stock closed yesterday at Sixty Seven cents a share.
