Missouri Chamber of Commerce and Industry vice president of government affairs Jared Hankinson was one of 23 people to be chosen by Governor Mike Kehoe to the newly formed Missouri Advanced Nuclear Energy Task Force.
“The members of the task force will help chart a clear and strategic path forward for Missouri’s energy future—one that supports reliable power, economic opportunity, and long-term energy resilience for communities across the state,” said Governor Kehoe. “New energy sources will support U.S. energy dominance and reduce reliance on energy imports.”
Hankinson has testified on behalf of the Missouri Chamber at the state capitol in support of legislation to expand nuclear energy in the state.
“The Missouri Chamber supports ways to modernize the state’s energy infrastructure, enhancing our grid’s resilience and making Missouri more competitive in attracting major technology investments,” Hankinson said. “This could attract major projects to the state that would bring jobs and stimulate our economy.”
