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.

right but the lack of the boom would likely be due to the diversified very large economy. Not b.c it wouldn't work.

And we don't know what ND would do about off shore drilling as they don't have off shore. I would assume they would be for it, but if they had a coastline, then more people would live there and thus might change policy.

There would still be growth but much slower and much more $ being spent in court rooms and lawyers instead of economic spending. Again, all of this is just my opinion and I am not a smart man.

I don't think its court room time, i think its bureaucratic process that is the issue. And I agree.
