No doubt they are diversified but it is my undersatnding that there is a potential offshore prospect that could be huge (similiar to GoM). If it is anything like the Gulf, would Cali boom instantly? No, but I can easily say more jobs, more tax income(like they need it) and growth to economy.

California's tourism industry is pretty big. They, like Florida, are going to be very concerned with any drilling activity off shore....especially after the high profile BP incident off the coast of Louisiana.

It's interesting though. In many ways, parts of California were established by mining natural resources, including oil.
