It's starting - New California law bans ...

[Kel71]

California took another step toward its goal of ridding the state of all gas-powered engines thanks to a new bill signed by Gov. Newsom on Saturday.

The new law will ban the sale of all off-road gas-powered engines, including pressure washers, generators, lawn mowers, chainsaws and weed trimmers. Under the new law, these machines must be zero-emissions, meaning they will have to be either battery-powered or plug-in.

The new rule will be implemented by January 2024, or as soon as regulators determine is "feasible," whichever date is later. The California Air Resources Board has already started working on executing the law.

Of course you can have battery charging gas generators.

Lets see how they fight there forest fires that they can't even maintain. Then every landscaper will have to have a
12volt to 120 volt converter in there truck or a gas powered generator to charge the batteries.

Another case of a politician with zero common sense.

Quite a misconception that government and politicians operate for the good of the people. If their actions make no sense to you, examine your assumptions about their motives.

There is a Zero Emissions generator, its quite expensive, large and makes very little power for a short span of time...just what you want to deal with when you've survived a disaster

Only a problem unless the Government needs them, forest fires ect...
Then it's not a issue.

 

[Fellin Feller]

Talk about government over reach. No lawn mowing, weedeating, or timber cutting.

Apparently there's a trillion dollars of lithium under Afghanistan.
Apparently Sniffer Joe has links to a Chinese lithium-ion battery manufacturer.
Apparently China are in talks with the Taliban.
All just speculation on my part.

EDIT: Oh and Newsom is a scumbag slimeball.

Only bans sale but not possession or use? Wonder how this affects online sales of “kits”

can also just cross the state line to buy one

you bunch of dinosaurs
batteries powered by renewables is ONLY solution we have, look at norway with 75% electric cars, powered by renewables, and look at their high gdp and lack of debt
"you dont know what you have got till its gone"

With the water supply dwindling across the west coast there picking bs fights rather than focus on the real problems. Are they going to put a muffler on Yellowstone’s super volcano before she blows? When she blows exhaust pollution won’t matter. Or stop an asteroid coming?
It’s too late we wrecked this planet to the point of no return.

What about the dirtbikes/atv in the desert?

They can’t lose what they never had.....

Norway is a poor example.

It is like comparing apples to fried chicken.

i,m just saying norway has a head start on the rest of us, it would take us 10 yrs to catch them up
but we no longer have the re$ources to do it

And we need to kill all of those buffalo in Yellowstone, it was a good thing that we all but wiped them out 150 years ago.
