To: Not now, Not ever!

Manufacturers will just stop selling appliances and cars in CA. It's not worth the trouble.

Then people in CA won't use cars or appliances and then entire industries will shut down and just think how much energy California will save then.

Then all the people will move out and they will save even more energy.

Well, there goes the world's 5th largest economy, killed at the altar of environmentalism.

Not a chance in hell. There are 36 million people in California, or over 12% of the population of the entire United States. That's just too big of a market to ignore. If you want to talk about a market that's not worth the trouble, check out Wyoming.

Somebody needs to look up the figures.. I don't know, but am willing to bet, that at one time (as late as the 70's, say) California was a net energy producer via either coal, oil, gas or nuclear, etc. They were largely conservative too, but that's another topic. As an aside, energy de-regulation has been one large scam foisted on the American people. Local energy companies were safe investments and provided steady dividends to our retired folks. Why should locals be subject to the whims of out of state speculators? Bahstahds.
