Another crazy loony commiefornia law. Where is all the electricity to charge the batteries going to come from? commiefornia is also mandating all new homes to have electric water heaters, heaters, ovens, stoves, range tops, dryers, etc.

No new homes will get any natural gas hookups.
No wood burning fireplaces are allowed here either.
Solar panels are now mandatory also.

Once I’m fired over the clot shot mandate, at least I know I’ll have a career as a chainsaw smuggler...

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

THANK YOU!! I have always had the same thought, it is such a BS line. I also call BS every time I see the word "Eco" in front of any word describing a product.

I hate this ridiculous and draconian oppression by the fools in Sacramento but your scenario is easily dealt with by having multiple batteries. A landscape service worker will simply swap several out during the course of a workday.

It will make operating that service more expensive, thus eliminating smaller competitors. It will also likely raise prices, and during a blackout your lawn likely won’t get trimmed.

Imagine a natural calamity, where trees are down all over the place, taking power lines down with them, and then having to rely on 'lectric chainsaws to cut 3'-4' diameter trees.

Visions of a chainsaw brigade, from other states, coming to the rescue are going through my head.

Removing Gasoline as the dominant source of energy will be a disaster

Well, from what seen of the situation, most folks who live in communist countries don’t mow their lawns anyway.. So, this is par for the course...

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

From what I've read, new sales of that type of equipment would be banned as well.

Brilliance like Newsom’s only comes along occasionally..thank goodness. Let’s see if I got this right...He wants all things basically to be powered by renewable energy, but is already running short of electrical supply. Is he related to Biden or someone in the administration? Certain traits seem to be common here.

And the day will come when the police will be called when Karen suspects her neighbor has illegally purchased, and is now using, a gas-powered lawnmower on a Saturday afternoon...

Newsom has ties the the Chinese Communist Party, you can be sure.

There are many who want the United States taken down. The CCP is near the top of the list. Those who want a global government are a very close second.

In college, Berman worked in Congresswoman Anna Eshoo's office and as an analyst in the United States Department of Justice Civil Rights Division.

Career

After graduating from law school, Berman worked as an attorney at Latham & Watkins and Merino Yebri, LLP. He also worked provided pro bono representation to clients seeking protection under the Violence Against Women Act and individuals seeking asylum from the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Before his election to the California State Assembly, Berman served as a member of the Palo Alto City Council.
