California could be the next oil boom state (Bakersfield, San Luis Obispo: motels, house)

If you have a home solar system even better.

Which is a "bright" idea.

Now if they could just get the $10,000 batteries to be made more price friendly so a trade in after 8 to 10 years isn't worth just the scrap price of the car. Electric cars haven't really caught on for very good reasons.

I'm sure lots of people in calif. would rather allocate that land to solar panels or growing pot: dummies. Try to run a car on a solar panel.

I really find people who are more ignorant and misinformed as Texans. Your post is complete nonsense.

Ding ding... Two points to Leonard...

Yes indeed battery's /storage technology has room for improvement... (We have to start somewhere though... IMO cheap subsidized oil is unhealthy for the future..)

Rare earths are were it is at..
And of course California in the game.. (Sorry Texas fans, no rare earths in Texas. BoooHooo..)
Mountain Pass rare earth mine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

China dumped cheap rare earths on the market, to corner the market, this hurt domestic miners.. Rare earths are the foundation of virtually all "high tech"

Which, while a massively profound statement, has nothing to do with my statement.

Uh, did you miss my response to your statement that was then followed by a general statement.

To your comment I said: "Which is a "bright" idea."

Something must be "dimmer" than I thought.

Aah the first snow of the year. People in Big Bear would have loved it.

Unfortunately it is melting and was as it hit. It was so heavy it did pile up, but it will be gone shortly. Oh well, my wife loved it as she spent the bulk of the time it was falling shooting pictures of the year and neighborhood.

If this year is like last year, this will be the only snow we see. It has been so mild I have not yet bought a pair of boots and yesterday I could have used them. Well today too, as I helped a friend push his car out of the snow where he left it yesterday, as tennis shoes are not made for foot deep snow.

So people in Texas a dumb huh? Well, he's a link to the current rig count in the USA. California has 30, Texas has 812. In fact there's quite a few states that have many more rigs running than Calif. Penn. ND. Oklahoma, NM, WY. Calif. percent of oil rigs running is 2% of the national total. I guess, as far as most people are concerned, this would indicate there is no drilling boom in California.

28 this lovely day in East Tennessee. 50, this chilly day on the coast, should be in the 70's shortly, I will take the pony out for a substantial trot.

Not everybody, but the ones who can't stay away from the California fora seem to be a bit slow.
