Where California now has two seats in the 100-person U.S. Senate, the three states would have six seats in a 104-member chamber. That would dilute the power of other states and increase the power of what used to be a single state if its six senators banded together on various issues.

this worries me a bit

I wish they divided it with sanfran and LA in the same state, it would be less of a concern.

If a couple more states did it, it could seriously shift power around in the senate.
