Gov. Jay Nixon is backing a proposed power line in Missouri that's part of a multistate wind energy project.

Nixon on Wednesday announced Clean Line Energy Partners has promised to adopt what the Democratic governor described as landowner protections.

The project would transmit electricity from Kansas, across northern Missouri and Illinois to Indiana.

Electricity would be available for Missouri utilities.
