Did you take into account that
California has the most stringent emissions standards in the US? Also, we were the first state to allow hybrids (for hybrid drivers: can use highway carpool lane, exempt from smog, free parking in San Jose or LA). Also, We are leading the nation in solar power. Also, we were the only state to allow electric cars. Also, we lead the nation in biodeisel.
It's kinda hard to blame California when we are leading the nation in hybrids, alternatives, and generally being the uber-liberals that we want to be. If we left the US, I'd bet we'd be one of the more environmentally sound countries in the world.
