So California becomes an independent country saddled with debt, unrealistic pension obligations, high energy costs, a failing movie industry, etc. So what happens when they no longer get water from the Colorado River or when Northern California sues for independence?

We get Northern California back, things get progressively worse in the remaining areas, and we eventually get all of it back, on our terms.

We can sell the water at a ridiculously high rate. About the same amount as any revenues from CA. BTW, the Hover Dam is not in CA. It powers all of LA and the surrounding area.

The silly environmental restrictions that the Liberals have imposed on CA will come back to bite them in the rear. And ramping up new power plants won't happen over night and will take years.
