California’s situation offers a cautionary tale for other states contemplating similar energy and environmental policies. The combination of restrictive regulations, high taxes, and virtue signaling has created an environment where economic growth stalls, costs soar, and residents flee.

In contrast, California’s layered policies hinder industry, inflate costs, and diminish quality of life, leading to a population exodus and economic decline.
