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.
