Most of that "imported" oil now comes from Canada, Mexico and South America. I can live with that.Fair enough.
I'm relatively unconcerned about the water and power shortages that plague NIMBY Kalifornians anyway. I've written the state off as a lost cause long ago.
Rather, I find their self-inflicted emergencies somewhat amusing.
For the rest of us, 65+% petroleum imports (46.3% of which is OPEC) is unacceptable.
We have a lot of oil wells in and near the county (SLO) I live in and a nuclear power plant to boot. So don't tell me "not in my backyard". We have plenty in "my back yard" here and I'm not complaining about it either. I don't have a problem buying oil from our non-dictator neighbors.
