For all the yammering about ‘climate change’ being on the ballot, it really didn’t factor into the federal election. At the state level, though

Climate Initiatives Fare Well Across the Country Despite National Political Climate

….

Washington voters on Tuesday firmly rejected a measure to overturn the state’s signature climate law.

Ballot Initiative 2117, or I-2117, would have repealed the Climate Commitment Act, which authorized a market-based “cap and invest” program to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 95 percent by 2050. I-2117 would also have prohibited all state agencies from implementing any type of carbon trading. The initiative would also have decreased funding for investments in transportation, clean air, renewable energy, conservation and emissions reduction.

Yeah, well, it’s Washington, and the lefties there haven’t really considered what it will do to their energy costs.

California voters also voiced their support for strong action on climate, approving a $10 billion bond measure to boost climate resilience across a state battered by alternating climate disasters, from unprecedented drought and heat waves to catastrophic wildfires and floods.

Proposition 4 authorizes borrowing to build resilience to a warming planet, respond to climate-related disasters and help ensure residents, particularly in disadvantaged communities, have access to safe and reliable sources of drinking water.

It’s California, which does everything possible to make it expensive and difficult to live there.

A ballot initiative in Honolulu, Hawaii, creating a climate resiliency fund passed, according to initial results as reported by the Honolulu Civil Beat.

Nearly 52 percent of voters cast their ballots in favor of establishing the resiliency fund, with money for the project coming from existing property tax revenue.

It’s Hawaii, though, I’m surprised it only made it to 52%. When does this island which would be a 3rd world shithole without fossil fuels ban them?

On Tuesday, Louisiana voters overwhelmingly passed a constitutional amendment that requires any revenue received by the state from renewable energy production to be deposited into Louisiana’s Coastal Protection and Restoration Fund.

That’s not Hotcoldwetdry, it’s the citizens, 73% of them, making sure the government doesn’t piss away the money.

A ballot measure in South Dakota aimed at easing the construction of carbon dioxide pipelines was squarely rejected by the state’s voters on Tuesday.

The citizens realized government was being a bit too easy and interfering with land rights.

Somehow they include Josh Stein, Democrat, being elected governor, which means lots of current gov Rory Cooper’s (D) climate scam order will not be rescinded. Believe me, ‘climate change’ was not even mentioned really during the governor election. Texas kept their Republican Railroad Commissioner, which regulates the oil and gas industry, so, they’ll keep pumping and refining.

With the election of so many Republicans in Minnesota and Michigan the climate wackos in the Dem party will have a tough time passing more and more scam laws. And there are a few more things like this, but, really, there were no ballot initiatives of consequence, because they are low hanging fruit, not that important to voters.
