No fossil fuel used in the state after 2045. Jay Leno will have to move his classic car collection.
No trucks or helicopters to save a dam or to deliver food. Maybe they can bring back the bicycle built for 2.
Sanctuary cities hah ,The scum Eric Holder hired to oppose Trump. All for the"greater good"

I know that it will never happen, but if California were to make good on the threat to Secede from the nation. It would be EXREMELY beneficial to the rest of the nation.

We left San Diego just as California was turning from bad to unbearable. There are very few cities that are more beautiful, or have better climate than San Diego. You have the ocean, the mountains, the desert, and a great cultural life. But the cost of living is ridiculous. Taxes so high that most of the time you're working for the government. Restrictions so stringent that opening a small business without enormous capital is foolish. Why invest an amount that would cost 10 years to recoup when even average investing could start yielding without any effort on your part? Bye-bye S.D.,CA.

What wasn't mentioned in the article was the impending fiscal doom of the California public "servants" pension system. That entitlement bill is estimated at a trillion dollars and unpayable without instituting draconian high tax rates at some point in the near future.

When it looked like James Carville's prediction of Democrats in power for the foreseeable future was assured, there's no doubt that California was expecting a federal bailout to help them avoid defaulting on their pension promises. By ignoring the steady collapse of Democratic power over the last eight years, Democrat controlled states are facing disaster. Republicans will undoubtedly hold states to the fact that they cannot claim bankruptcy or expect a federal bailout, bleeding the more responsibly managed states taxpayers to pay for their folly.

What happens in the coming years is going to be unpleasant. When California and other progressively run states have to acknowledge they can't honor their pension promises, there will be widespread strikes and possible violence. Ultimately, the federal government may have to take over, under martial law to resolve the mess of the social states.

I thought you were talking about Venezuela or Cuba but its only California; the transfer state...transfer from Asia to the rest of the US for a fee. How about a transfer tax on California but none on Idaho and Montana with the Dakotas. Just fun its the first day of Spring training games, go Red Sox

Can you say Venezuela? I say pull the life support federal government programs plug and let them sink. They made their own bed - they can sleep in it. As posted before, I vote for California to leave the US and join Mexico. Problem solved.

This concerns me a great deal being in the largest neighbor State to the East of Kaliformia. And with the way things are going in Nevada currently, a very unique State that used to be so free and libertarian is rapidly following the sucking sound down the tube to the West Coast.

Contrary to most of the rest of the nation, Nevada turned the entire State legislature over to the dumbocrats and voted for the witchbroom. The rest of us in the State need a wall protecting us from Clark County! This is bad. The Dem legislature is now introducing legislation countering everything Trump is on board with AND the Rino Republican Gov Sand-No-Balls is issuing commands for law enforcement not to arrest illegal immigrants. Which we have a ton of. This is bad. Our only wall to the west is the Sierra Nevada. It used to work.

California doesn't go far enough. They need to eliminate the use of nuclear fuel, coal, wood, hydroelectric and the import of any product that was produced by said fuels (including solar or wind powered products) and transported on any part of the continent by said fuels.

Does the author even grasp what he's reporting on?
