i have no problem getting rid of obnoxious leafblowers.
Landscaping services are going to double/triple their rates. Will be interesting how city parks departments are going to operate, and the cost factor for them over the next decade.
The insanity continues!!!!!!!!
Stupid; should have banned them on golf courses first.
Soon they’ll have us all use scythes and goats to mow our lawns.
First they came for the gasoline-powered devices like leaf blowers and lawn mowers, and I did not speak out...
I have freed myself from the tyranny and misery of 2 cycle engines. I simply threw them away.
My weed eater, leaf blower and lawn mower have batteries as the power source.
The fact I don’t have to pull and pull and cuss and cuss the small engine is life changing
Caveat: they don’t run for ever. The battery needs to be recharged at an interval that roughly coincides with my time for a rest
CARB
The Radical Left wants this for the entire world.
Be afraid!
All of these communist bureaucrats need to be yanked out of their offices by their necks. Voting is so 2019.
+++++” leaf blowers and lawn mowers, saying they can produce more noxious emissions than cars.....”++++++
First off, this is not the role of a “limited government”. Secondly, what’s next? Grilling? Scented candles? Farting? Exhaling?
Virtually the entire state has moved beyond idiocy.
Does anyone still live in Cali other than illegals and the far left progressives who would make flat-earther’s look like pathetic joke? /s
Mexicans hit hardest...
Does this mean that we will be able to stop paying extra for crappy CARB compliant equipment in the rest of the country?
What is with the Left’s approval of electricity as a means of power? I thought they hated coal? Do they really think wind farms and solar is going to be anywhere near sufficient? Stupid question, I know! They know it’s not sufficient. That’s how they plan to remove every last vestige of modern convenience from Americans and turn us into a third world existence.
Wetbacks throughout the Kalifornia gulag will be saddened by this news, right before they raise their prices x10.
Gasoline powered equipment releases a lot of smog-forming pollutants, but not much CO2. Using a battery-powered tool recharged by a conventional power source will emit twice as much CO2 into the atmosphere for the same amount of work.
This is just simple physics.
It is the old enviro 1/2. When they want to ban one thing, it is all about CO2. When they want to ban the other thing, it is all about VOCs. When they want to ban small engines, it is all about smog-forming pollutants.
Electric versions don’t wake up the neighborhood, and will soon be getting very price-competitive. Probably the biggest problem will be some state attempt to make money off of the need to “grandfather” existing equipment. Just don’t sell new ones; black-market imports from Nevada won’t be worth it in most of the smog-prone areas.
This looks frickin’ awesome!
And a great way to get rid of unwanted gophers, moles, cats, stupid neighbor kids...
(I figured it must exist by now, but I live in a “community” so I don’t worry about mowing my laws.)
Doesn’t look like the current electrical grid will be adequate
as it is & now they want to make the grounds equipment all rechargeable. After they get done fouling their nest & it’s full....then what?
Hey Mexico... Take California. It is all yours.
