Over the years, the so-called forward-thinking policymakers in California have achieved questionable results:
> California’s high cost of electricity is already more than 80 percent higher than the national average for residential and commercial, more than 140 percent for commercial, and is projected to go even higher.
> California imports more electricity than any other US state – more than twice the amount of Virginia, the second-largest importer of electricity. California typically receives between one-fifth and one-third of its electricity supply from outside the state, mostly from out-of-state coal-fired power plants.
> California now has the second–highest rate of unemployment.
> California has lagging job growth.
> California has roughly half of the nation’s homeless population.
