“Californians don’t pay their fair share of anything.” This statement simply is not true. California (and most if not all) the big Blue states pay FAR more in federal taxes than they get back. Most of the Red states get back more than they pay in.

I don’t know about your claim of energy subsidization which sounds like an argument over price.

I was talking about the energy production. California refuses to build their own power plants or refineries and that put the burden of the infrastructure costs on WA and Oregon. We not only get the negative impacts of the power plants, transmission lines and refineries, but we end up paying for it.

WA state doesn’t need any more power. We have more than we can use from hydro electric dams that are not even operating at full capacity.
