We'll just use wind and solar here in Texas when Texas becomes it's own country, *again*. hahahaha. Also, Mr. California is sooooo cool, without Texas would the United States be able to lay claim to ZZ Top, the rock band that has guys with the coolest looking beards in music? I think not! :}
Hey, I'm all for being progressive, and State's Rights too. Afterall, States know what's best for themselves, right? I'm by no means an expert on the subject, but it seems like California likes to set a precedent that is sometimes too high or too costly for industry to meet, ultimately making the end product expensive for everyone. I dunno, there's probably tons of examples within and outside the automotive industry that can be found, and I'm sure for every example, there's a Californian standing right behind it to defend their state.
There's tons of great things that have come from California and perhaps a sustainable economy is a huge benefit to y'all in the long run, but I think cesession from the United States would be utterly foolish.
Hey, btw, I'd move to California in a heartbeat if it wasn't so freakin' expensive! My friend in Sacramento just went through an insanely stressful house purchasing fiasco that I couldn't imagine having to deal with here in Texas.
