Because it’s what is being used in Montana, Wyoming, Indiana and some parts of Florida that I know of personally because I have seen TV ads and know people working with the advocacy groups on the local level.

I have friends who mention that it is also going in Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee and Kentucky.

That evidence enough.

This has always been the best venue for positive climate impact.

Same reason in deep red states with high hunting populations have a bunch of "conservation groups" who push anti deforestation/development/mining bills to the locals. It works. Simple pitch. Vote for bill XYZ so they don't cut down a bunch of forests and destroy your hunting areas.

It's also working for banning a bunch of inhumane practices like trapping.
