California Governor Gavin Newsom signed off on the new law on Saturday banning gas-powered equipment that uses small off-road engines.

Gas-powered equipment includes generators, lawn equipment, pressure washers, chainsaws, weed trimmers and even golf carts.

Under the new law the machinery will have to be battery-powered or plug-in.

Can someone explain to me how a “battery” operated generator would work?

[CIB-173RDABN]

A few years ago when the government began sim-managing water in the state I pulled up all the grass in my yard (front and back and put in a rock garden. Gave away my lawn mower.

Maintenance is low (about an hour a month to kill weeds).

Easy. Just stop calling it gas and start calling it “hydrocarbon battery.”

[goodnesswins]

Soooo...when the “power” goes out...no gas generator? Wonder what governor s mansion back up is...oh, and hospitals?

[Jane Long]

They probably want to push these generators...

Wasn’t that the scheme of the bad guy in the second Keaton Batman movie?

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Hey, all you dumb Kalifornians who voted against recall, enjoy!

[Clutch Martin]

No propane or propane accessories???

[Leaning Right]

So they’re banning gas-powered lawn mowers. Sweet. Combine that with California’s rolling blackouts, and my California lawn service company will be the only option for the rich and famous.

“propane”

No propane. Has to be zero emissions, meaning battery or plug in.

[DBrow]

They are determined that when they cut your electricity, you DON’T have electricity. OTOH the campgrounds will be quieter without a 3500W Generac clattering all night.

What about the gennys on food trucks?

[Nebr FAL owner]

They do make1 cylinder diesel engines that ought to get the nature nazi’s panties in a was!😱

[Olog-hai]

How are they claiming that batteries emit nothing? And that’s aside from their production.

[Leaning Right]

> No propane or propane accessories???

Hank Hill, is that you?

[Sacajaweau]

Just plain stupid. All these changes have NOT changed the climate and never will. No one knows what the temperature of the earth should be at any point on earth and at any point in time.

Man is such an arrogant beast.

Look at our satellites and then look at God's satellites. One is living...one is nuts and bolts. God is amused I'm sure.

[Thommas]

No generators for the National Guard or Reserves when in the field for maneuvers?

Really?

I guess tree services will have to use this where there's no 120vac outlet for an electric chain saw
