I hate to say it but what they need to do is cut off all oil/petroleum import off to the state of California and see what they say about it. Shut the valves off of the huge gasoline and natural gas pipelines running into to Cali. Outlaw 18 wheelers in Cali. Won't be no time before they cry to start building refineries and drilling onshore and offshore. Treehuggers won't be able to drive to their rallies and sit-ins. Telecommunications will stop when service vehicles can't get around to make repairs to down equipment. Bleeding hearts don't understand that we are 100% dependant on something they have caused issues with.
BTW Chicken Little, the sky isn't falling. Thats crap from birds, the last thing still able to fly in your state since petroleum can't be brought in to keep airplanes flying.
