For many residents of Missouri, the cost of utilities is already a heavy burden. For those of us on a fixed income, any increase in utility rates would be devastating. Imagine having to choose between basic needs like food, transportation, and paying your electric bill. That's the reality for many of our neighbors living paycheck to paycheck.

Ameren Missouri, a major utility company, is currently entering into new data center deals that could significantly impact our electricity rates. These deals often require substantial energy consumption, resulting in higher costs that are ultimately passed on to consumers, many of whom can scarcely afford it.

We, the residents of Missouri, believe that such decisions should involve public input and careful consideration of their socio-economic impacts. We demand transparency from Ameren Missouri and urge them to set impact limits to prevent unfair rate hikes. Affected communities deserve a say in matters that directly affect their financial well-being.

By signing this petition, you are advocating for a fair process that includes the voices of Missouri residents in corporate decisions that could impact our lives. Urge Ameren Missouri to pause any new data center agreements until a thorough public consultation is conducted and reasonable impact mitigations are in place. Sign this petition and stand with us for a transparent and fair utility governance.
