Texas has the resources to do it. We're largely separate from the nationwide power grid, have plenty of petroleum and resources to trade.
I'm not a fan of Texas' secession dreams in spite of my username, but considering the basic resources that California lacks I can't imagine their secession being a good idea.
- SwellJoe 10y agoWhat does California lack? I think I can see a pretty good case for either Texas or California to be able to stand alone. (Not that I'm really on board with either secessionist movement, but I've lived in Texas and California, and, both are huge states with huge economies, and they both produce a lot of food and have tons of resources, both natural and human.)
- AnimalMuppet 10y agoOh, good point about the power grid. For years, California has been moving their power plants to other states so that the other states get the pollution. That would come back to bite them if they seceded.
