You're right that California is a huge agriculture area in this country, though. I just think they need us more than we need them. Specifically because without the water they get from 7 other states, none of their crops and animals would survive. Plus without the energy they get from elsewhere, they'd be forced to drill offshore for oil (which they've fought off doing for an eternity). So when their state turns back into a desert, and their beaches are crowded with oil rigs, I don't think they'd be too happy.

Side note off the agriculture bit, hasn't Northern California tried in the past to become it's own state?

I remember seeing some sort of proposal that would have broken Cali into 7 different States.  I think that idea quickly died, once they realized that 5 of the 7 would be conservative, thus netting them an 8 seat Senatorial deficit along with many House seats.
