California loves socialism. Most people here are not in clean energy jobs, contrary to your lame stereotypes. You'd think we all work for Solyndra or Tesla here. Trade wars will be an enormous incentive for automation and technology. Look at the Carrier situation. Keeping some jobs for now, but spending $15M on tech to automate them away in the future. That's what you will see. The beauty of technology is that a lot of it is fixed costs, so the more buyers there are, the cheaper it gets, and the more buyers it draws in. It's a virtuous cycle, which you can now enjoy watching from the outside looking in.
