I'm fairly unbiased because I've lived in both and I'm about to move back to the other (not that things are great here either, but h e l p)- Texas' boom and California's stagnation will continue for a time, but climate change is hitting and will continue to hit both hard. In the long term, I think California will rebound more because of the growing importance of the Pacific. The aerospace and defense-driven growth that California lost after the end of the Cold War, unfortunately for people who don't like brinkmanship between nuclear powers, is about to come back in a big way. Texas' economy, meanwhile, will be hit harder by a transition to green energy, not to mention infrastructure is in dire need of attention as the cities balloon. The state is headed for major problems, while California can start papering over current ones with coming economic growth.
