British Columbians want gas out of buildings, cleaner alternatives: poll Polling clearly demonstrates that the higher your knowledge about the causes of climate change, the more likely you are to support climate policies.

‼️New polling shows people in BC:

• worry about climate change (78%)
• want the #BCgov to act more (79%)
• want more oversight of FortisBC to shift away from #naturalgas (61%)

Getting gas out of buildings addresses all this.

How to (still) be a climate optimist 2025 was a year defined by climate policy retreats in North America — and climate technology expansion in the rest of the world. Good news: Nothing stops this train.

Climate advocates lost some political battles in North America last year, but technology and economics are winning the war everywhere else.

2026 will make the inevitability of the energy transition even more difficult to ignore.
