California lawmakers send Newsom bill that could ban gas generators

Legislation to restrict the use of gas-powered landscaping equipment in California also would outlaw portable generators in a state only a year removed from rolling power outages amid deadly heat. 

Lawmakers have sent Gov. Gavin Newsom Assembly Bill 1346. The bill’s sponsor, Assembly Member Marc Berman, D-Menlo Park, said the legislation would phase out the sale of new gas-powered small off-road engines (SOREs) in California.

    Time to invest in the solar-powered lawnmower manufacturing companies.

    Did you ever notice that none of the dozers, transports, engines, pickups and water tenders owned and used by the State of California to fight wildfires aren't solar powered? I wonder why that is.

      Gas comes out of Sacramento - Gasoline goes out of the ground.

    I don't feel sorry for anything that happens in California now. They had their chance, and they blew it. They deserve whatever they get.

    Aren't they doing us a service by acting as a crash test dummy for all this zero carbon green crap? The UK government is into this stuff but we are behind California by maybe ten to fifteen years. Our representatives are too thick for us to explain the reasons why this stuff is impossible and simply won't work. What they need is a practical demonstration.

    Propane powered small engines are actually very clean burning.

    Meanwhile, analysts are predicting a booming market for sales of small generators at stores in Yuma, Phoenix, Las Vegas, Reno, the southeast side of Lake Tahoe, Klamath Falls, and Medford OR.

      After the California stores sell out before it becomes law. Ran into that 2011 during a blizzard trying to buy a bigger one.

      Would the people smuggling generators in be punished more severely than people smuggling in ammunition?

    Is being "sentenced" to be the plumbing side of a public glory hole "cruel"? Or merely "unusual"? Punishment. In California?
