Electric powered chainsaws? There goes the ability to fight forest fires effectively. Sheer insanity!

there is no such thing as “zero emissions” somewhere, something is emitting emissions to make these things work.

I wonder if F150 sales with non hybrid generators will be banned.

Exactly what I was thinking.

including generators,

I wonder if this also means the portable gas driven LINCOLN welding machines so necessary to remote welding. It also has outlets for smaller electrical driven equipment.

“Are they going to close the state border to prevent such contraband from coming in?”

I’m certain your question is rhetorical, but I assure you, they monitor their interior U.S. border more than you might think.

A friend of mine was traveling to CA from TX on business and drove so he could enjoy the scenery of the Southwest. Upon entering California he was pulled over and the cops surveyed the inside of his vehicle and made him surrender some fruit he had with him, bananas and oranges I think.

He could NOT bring them into the state. This was 5+ years ago.

Going to be hard to clear out all of the fire fuel/dead growth in California forest without chainsaws, etc.

Oh, that’s right. They don’t do that...because Mother Gaia or something.

I suppose Forest Fire fighters will now need hand saws.

Looks like a good business opportunity for sale of portable equipment, just across the border, in Yuma, Arizona.

Maybe some believe in staying and fighting by committing simple civil disobedience.

“”” including generators, lawn equipment, pressure washers, chainsaws, weed trimmers, and even golf carts.”””


CHAINSAWS????

How are the loggers going to log without chainsaws???

But, then this is California where they would rather burn down their forests than harvest them. It warms the hearts of Californians to virtue signal.

Another possibility may be propane powered generators to power electric tools.

Imagine being in a hospital and there is a blackout and no generators, or an earthquake early evening and the power lines go down.

Generators? So when there’s rolling blackouts will candles suffice or will they deem them “racist”?

They have had “agricultural” inspections for quite a few years, at least 30 from my experience.

Creation of a sizable black market. The touchy feely types never learn, do they?

Did I read someplace that ‘blackout’ has been placed on the ‘never to use again’ word list? (sarc)

And while they’re charging back up, what do the workers do?

Each landscaping truck will have a charging station onboard. They will leave their truck idling while they are at one residence, charging batteries for the next stop. They will then swap batteries. So much for reducing "green house gases". ;o)
