Why does CA make headlines when TSHTF? Missouri offered this option over a year ago. Consider the extremes of wealth and poverty in CA and you will see why this will only penalize the less affluent. The Beverly Hillbillies, Santa Barbarians, and Carmel Squares will continue cooling their mansions to as low as they want (read: can afford--which translates to obscene amounts of $ to common people) all the while keeping their glass walls wide open to the beautiful vistas, swimming pools and landscaping. Why not initiate restrictions at the TOP of the food chain this time??? To paraphrase Diogenes, "Find me one honest consumer earning over $200,000 a year that will close off half (or 3/4) of zir estate and make a serious effort to NOT cool their burbs!"
