Cal Fire, logger and Arborist question

[user 188535]

What will arborists cutting large trees and Cal Fire do when gas saws are banned? I know the most powerful Battery saw now is the Stihl MSA 300 C-O and know for a fact that most stacked cell and lithium batteries wont work in extreme heat. What will Cal-Fire, loggers, and arborists do once this radical legislation has been put into place?

Here is a link to California air resources board document outlining what can and can’t be sold. Looks like saws over 45cc will still be able to be sold after 2024. But who knows for how long.

Yep. I am 13 and I wanted to buy an MSE 141 so I can start chainsaw carving. The price literally went up $50 overnight.
