March 7th has seen its fair share of pivotal moments throughout history. One of the most notable events on this day occurred in 1876 when Alexander Graham Bell was awarded the first US patent for the invention of the telephone.

Massive utility legislation expected to boost Missouri power generation — and energy bills
A quip is a witty remark that brings a chuckle. Another kind of CWIP, however, is an extra charge on utility bills that critics say is nothing to laugh about.
The acronym stands for Construction Work in Progress, and it means allowing companies to put a charge to build a new generation plant on customer bills before it is producing power. A bill that passed the Missouri Senate last week would allow the charge for the first time since voters banned it as “unjust and unreasonable” with an initiative…
