Kudos to California reps for attempting to make this happen, this is a good example of using states' rights to address local desires.

Unfortunately coastal ideas are defined a priori to be everyone's best interest, so experiments on them can only return one type of data. When this creates massive unintended perverse incentives, proponents will blame its failure on lack of scale and insist that it be federally imposed on the other states that want nothing to do with it.
