We’ve said many times on these pages that we believe that the world has reached peak climate craziness – except in this White House and in the Vatican – and energy common sense is slowly returning to earth.
The latest example is Switzerland. In Sunday’s election, Swiss voters showed they wanted to put the brakes on radical environmental policies. Two Green parties lost a combined quarter of their seats in Parliament. Swiss News reported that they “suffered from the hard-hitting actions of radical climate activists, who provoked confusion and even anger among a large part of the population.”
The winner was the conservative People’s Party, which took a hardline against higher taxes and the eco-bureaucracy and won their highest percentage of the vote in any election but one.
