Wrong-o. With the amount of tax money saved by cutting welfare to Republican states, blue states can build up all this capacity, or buy it from bankrupted red-staters much cheaper. It's not like we get fuel and electricity for free because we subsidize rednecks with our tax money.
How long has it taken for CA to make itself self sufficient?
It takes longer to develop an infrastructure than the impact of needing to develop.
CA complains about brownouts during the summer. How would it handle rolling blackouts all year long.
What would happen to the food production in Sourthen CA when the Colorado river is shut down?
Nevada, Arizona and Colorado can last at lot longer without Fed support than CA can standing on its own trying to build desalinization, pipelines and nuke plants.
There are no decent food production facilities east of the Ohio and north of Virginia. All those blue voters will have to tighten their belts when crops are not delivered. Are they going to turn housing developmetns into farmland?
Where will they get the fuel to farm - NJ has no excess refinery capacity.
See, the blue states are much more dependant on the reds than the reds are dependant on the blues if you want to setup a economic class war.
Time to build; let alone any public interference?
