Eh, California is mostly water independent. Most of the water that is “imported” comes from the Colorado River and is used for the least productive and least necessary agriculture in the state. Yeah, figuring out how to handle however much water would be lost if California were to secede would be an issue, but it wouldn’t be an impossible situation.
There’s one big fatal flaw to that though. Water. California doesn’t have enough.
It really does come down to this. They would be outright screwed.

Sorry but Cali is rich as fuck, they’d figure out water if need be.
