Speaking of climate change fanaticism, the folks in the epicenter of hysteria – California – may be having second thoughts.

Several cities have dropped planned bans on the use of natural gas for heating, hot water and cooking. A “freedom of heating” ballot initiative is planned for 2026. A January poll found the idea favored by 67% to 18% by voters.

A recent survey by pollster David Wolfson found that nearly half of likely California voters are considering voting for a Republican to be their next governor.

That’s amazing, because more than 1.5 million mostly Republican voters have fled the Golden State in recent years.
