Alaska has earthquakes, mudslides and drought as well. We still have plenty water maybe just not enough to grow for and feed the reSt of the us. Texas has been better in the last 10 years but it's not silicon Valley or space x and Tesla in so cal. Alaska is another oil state. Low oil means no money.
Didn't Alaska get help with the Exxonew spill?

There isn't a state in the union that doesn't want and need federal funds. That's why they all constantly lobby for it...Texas included. How much did the oil companies get in federal subsidies last year? Now THAT's seriously fucked up.

Every state gets help from the federal government. Every single one.

True..but wasn't that spill pretty small compared to BP fuck up? Alaska has the salmon and crab..its huge and its loaded with gold and oil.

Would be great to watch the Mexicans take Texas back. 
Yeah, without the power of the US military Texas would get butt raped by Mexico.
Plus majority of gold is from the west coast so I doubt the Feds will let y'all keep it. The North will win the second civil war too we got the guns, money, allies and power.
I would rather have Texas stay without them crazy right wing lunatics I fear the left will have us all living on government checks while the robots take are jobs and our guns.

some might even think it's a huge ponzi scheme...
Oil and gold price are and have been on the decline. Hard to cover a countries budget like that. Same with fisheries, they won't cover a countries budget. At least I can't think of one. But I'll pay for some crab and salmon!

At least gold can't be worth $0. Paper currency can.

Texas wouldn't make nearly as much money if it had to sell that gas to the foreign country of USA. Tarrifs would kill profits.
As a black liberal Texan i wouldn't want to be trapped with the Republicans as my sole govt. They'd probably put me in a concentration camp.

A tarrif against Texas oil would only hurt America not help it.

They'd make piles of money because who else could you sell it to? There's no money in transporting gas only oil.

The other largest port is in new York. When it comes to natural gas most of it these days comes from Colorado not Texas.
