St. Louis – More than 25 states require that a portion of electricity come from renewable sources such as wind, the Sun, biomass, and water.

On Election Day, Missouri voters will decide whether their state should have such a requirement too.

If Proposition C passes, the state's largest utilities will have to get at least 15 percent of their electricity from renewable resources by 2021.

As KWMU's Maria Hickey reports, supporters based the measure on a similar referendum in Colorado.
