The "Blue Wave" never really reached shore, the U.S. Senate is still in Republican hands, the House of Representatives flipped to Democratic control, Trump era deregulation and fossil fuel production efforts continue, several governorships and state houses went from red to blue--and almost all state renewable energy and carbon tax ballot initiatives went down in flames.
