I love my state. Somehow I feel more protected here from the woes of the world and what Trump is doing to the country. I may be mistaken, but I’m confident in my belief Newsom is looking out for his constituents. We need that since Trump has made no attempt to hide the fact he despises California to its core.

4th largest economy, at the political whims of a few hundred thousand persons living in Minnesota and the Dakotas who spend all day claiming califonia is done on facebook.
Lol. Lmao. Just electoral college things.

Split Cali up into 3 states so they get 6 senators

I believe this also means that if California ever left the USA that China would become the largest economy in the world.

As a Californian I would be thrilled if we succeeded from the union. We have nothing in common with Oklahoma and Kentucky, among others.

Imagine what we could do if we didn’t have to support those broke ass red states.

I think it’s smart of Newsom to work on individual trade arrangements with other countries.
Economically, Cali is bigger than most countries, obviously, and a critically productive engine in the world economy. Time for Cali to speak up, represent Californians, and take up more space in these impactful conversations.
All the way back in 2015 then Governor of Cali. Jerry Brown signed *SB 350* intending to increase renewable electricity use to 50% and double energy efficiency in existing buildings by 2030.
California met their renewable energy target *years* ahead of schedule with 52.7% of electricity on the grid being produced from renewable sources in 2017.
Republicans in the state legislature opposed the bill at the time citing the usual talking points. They said it would cost too much, harm the economy, and was government overreach.
O’Donnell did a bit on this last week. I learned something new from it–essentially this. WTG CA.

No proper taxation without proper representation. California needs a representative number of Senators, Congress representatives and electoral college.

Denmark confirms its offer to swap Greenland for California is still on the table—includes free Lego, unlimited rye bread, and one polite Prime Minister. Ball’s in your court, America.

It would be nice if eventually they split California up into at least 3 states.

Makes you wonder if all those people who have „fled the state“ were more of a drain on the state than the state was on them…

*were*. Past tense. Donny’s tantrum ruined that too.

If you take California out then where would US rank?

Is this the same „California has turned into a shithole since Newsom and Harris took over“ that Trump spoke about?

All the way back in 2015 then Governor of Cali. Jerry Brown signed *SB 350* intending to increase renewable electricity use to 50% and double energy efficiency in existing buildings by 2030.
California met their renewable energy target *years* ahead of schedule with 52.7% of electricity on the grid being produced from renewable sources in 2017.
And last year the Californian grid ran on 100% renewables with no blackouts or cost rises [for 98 days](https://electrek.co/2024/12/31/california-grid-100-percent-renewables-no-blackouts-cost-rises/).
Republicans in the state legislature opposed the bill at the time citing the usual talking points. They said it would cost too much, harm the economy, and was government overreach.
The oil lobby also [spent heavily on public relations campaigns](https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/feb/05/how-big-oil-spent-millions-to-defeat-california-climate-change-legislation-sb-350) arguing it would harm the economy, raise gas prices, and restrict consumer choice.
Of course none of that happened — it was never going to happen. You don’t crash the economy or hurt job growth by making energy cheaper and your [citizens healthier](https://news.berkeley.edu/2024/09/11/california-has-dramatically-improved-its-air-quality-but-racial-disparities-persist/).
