California moves toward ban on gas lawn mowers and leaf blowers

California will outlaw the sale of new gas-powered lawn mowers, leaf blowers and chain saws as early as 2024 under a new law signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom.

Zero Emission Generator? LOL ok...

 

[RitcheyRch]

But still ok to shit on the street.

Only if your homeless and can’t pay a fine. The rest of us would pay dearly.

 

[wallnutz]

Can you imagine how fucking fantastic the weather will be when you mow yore grass!

 

[RCDave]

I'm sure he will ban toilet paper soon as well. Then you have to let it dry and pick it off

I've switched most of my yard implements to Makita cordless (Makita, because I've been collecting Makita tools and batteries for years) and I'm quite happy with their performance. I love my small Makita chain saw, use it far more than I ever bothered to get out the gas one for. But for my grove, I'm still using a large grove mower and vroom vroom Echo weedwhacker. My 36V cordless blower is awesome, as are the hedge trimmers. I had some plug-in tools, even a lawn mower years ago, spent more time repairing cords, thank GOD for GFCI receptacles --- but Newsom's an idiot and doesn't realize we don't all live in townhouses.

Thanks to the liberals, I'm reminded daily how thankful I am I'm old and it's most of you who will be left to deal with this , not me baby.

A crew of 3 commercial landscapers will need 30-40 batteries to last a day. Charging those at night (more strain in the power grid @ night).

Logical thinking tells you the complete environmental footprint is harsher vs gas when you factor in battery creation and disposal, yet no one thinks of those items when passing these rules

 

[ElAzul]

Good luck charging yore shit when the power grid is down.

Have you or anyone left on RDP known a Democrat to use their brain other than keeping their ear's apart!!!

We’ll just use our battery operated generators…duh.

No one on CARB or in the CA government thinks logically

Explains why their ears touch.

 

[WhatExit?]

Their plan continues unabated until the silent majority stands up to them...

 

[v6toy4x]

I think the price of the contents in my yard shed just went up!!!

 

[HALLETT BOY]

One good thing about using silent electric power tools Is , they make no noise while you’re cutting out a catalytic converter .

 

[Brokeboatin221]

Everything I own rolls coal, 2 stroke chainsaw, dirt bike, wood splitter is gas, truck is diesel, car burns oil like a mofo, they can kiss my ass!

Elections have consequences.......the leftist sheep will continue to do what they are told....as a result, Kaliforniastan will continue its slide into a 3rd world country

Logical Thinkers would say the entire power grid is set to implode when stoopid shit like this gets passed and FJB’s Executive Order to have all cars be zero emission by 2030 while doing nothing to prepare for this drastic change in energy needs!

Yep...hence the mass exodus of all the good people.....

[Mr. C]

Dude is a fucking idiot . Can you imagine a state who can’t even keep enough power for housing let alone mandated electric cars by?? Now this. What the fuck does this asshat POS think will happen. Dare I say I wish I crazy would eliminate this problem
Oh ya. Fuck Newscum and all you liberal pieces of crap who support this kind of stuff.

Maybe I’ll just go start my mower and zip tie the throttle Let run all friggen day. Ugggggg

 

[PlanB]

I guess I will be importing more stuff from Havasu.

 

[Rondog4405]

I Gotta fn get outta here..

 

[Bpracing1127]

Buy them in Texas and bring them over. Simple enough. Like ammo for my gun (before the tragic boating accident when I lost them) I bought in AZ

 

[Icky]

Wouldn't it be easier to just ban grass?

 

[Mr. C]

It’s gonna be harder soon to cross from Arizona to California then the border.

 

[Sherpa]

scumbag has gone mental. eliminating small engines as they are claiming make as much pollution as a car. fricken bat shit crazy. I hope this affects the wealthy dems the hardest. their landscaper dude should up fees like 4X...........

I guess the bordering states to Calif now will be selling bootleg gas engines.! unless the big stations will be checking for engines now too! wouldn't put it past them to check.

--Sherpa
owns alot of small engines!

 

[Javajoe]

Makes me wish I had a Diesel Mower that could roll coal. That would make for a great weekend

And just like that, lake Mead was full again.

Put some 2 stroke oil it in it

Remember the “spark plug challenge” years ago?
I don’t remember exactly but I seem to recall I was over 100 spark plugs at that time.

 

[Waffles]

This fucking idiot literally just alienated an entire demographic that relies on gas powered tools.

The beans are gonna be fucking irate

 

[Mandelon]

All the city maintenance crews will all get new expensive shit at taxpayer expense.

Fire Dept? Do those big cutters and jaws of life work on 18V ok?

A golf course mowed on battery power?

 

[riverroyal]

One freighter sitting off the coast sends more polution per day than all of the lawnmowers do in socal.

On a side note...new bmw's do not have a override button to stop the motor from shutting down at idle.
But...if you put it in sport mode and really haul ass creating more exhaust it stays running at stops. Genius

They’re exempt.

I’m waiting for California to set the example and convert all Caltrans vehicles and police and fire vehicles to electric. Ought to work out well for them.

Its not like they do any work anyhow, may as well just sell off all the equipment and vehicles and pay them to stay home.

 

[Boat 405]

Its all about control the sheeple. Has nothing to do with saving anything. Force everyone to go to electric everything. Then literally pull the plug when the sheeple misbehave.

A volcano burps, not erupts, just a burp lets out more pollution than man has ever created. We should ban volcanoes.

Hide agendas as labeled for the children and environment and they will pass anything and everything. Stupid sheep

Aren’t they already doing that???

The recall proved that the Dems can do anything they want.

Zero emmisons generator ….LOl let that sink in, I think that’s called a battery.

All that stuff is fine for the home owner but will NEVER work for commercial. What world do these fucks live in!

 

[rrrr]

I remember when this came up years ago. Nothing was done because of the disparate impact on minorities that worked in the landscaping industry.

I guess there are so many more illegals in California now, they can hire enough of them to cut lawns with scissors.

 

[rrrr]

Someone should estimate how much gasoline the industry uses each day for small engines, convert that to MBTUs, and then to kW.

Next, it should be calculated how many megawatt hours that will be used to charge equipment batteries every day, if all of the gasoline kW converts to battery power, and its affect on the failing California power grid. It'll be a significant number.

I tell people weekly: Don't use logic (or ask questions) of liberals. It only makes them dumber and there's no logic behind what they're doing

 

[OCMerrill]

Now we have to play Cuba with a lawn mower.

One Forest fire emits.....never mind the government does not give a shit about small business and the individual even less. No reason to even discuss reality.

If you start working on it now maybe you’ll have an answer by next week.

 

[rrrr]

It's pretty straightforward if the amount of gasoline is known.

There's probably an industry association that knows this.

Already in the works. 10% by 2024 and I want to say 100% by 28 is what I heard from purchasing for government agencies. Had to completely redesign our electrical layout on site to be ready to support all the EV charging stations where I work.
Haven’t seen an EV F450 with crane yet.
