California Will Drill, Baby, Drill

I have stated/predicted that California's finances are so parlous and its financial commitments so vast that the only way out is to embrace the economic development and tax dollars that come with aggressively pursuing hydrocarbon development.  Simply put, California will have to drill for oil on a massive scale, whether they like it or not, in order to save the utopian paradise they've built.

And it appears that even the Democrat supermajority gets it.
