Bill banning small, gas-powered engines and generators heads to Governor's desk

[JustAGuy1]

FRESNO, Calif. (FOX26) — A bill is now on Governor Gavin Newsom’s desk that could disproportionately impact families in the Central Valley and nearby foothill and mountain communities.

Assembly Bill 1346 would end the production of gas-powered small, off-road engines--used in lawn and garden equipment and generators-- by January 1, 2024.

It would replace the gas-powered engines with zero emission battery technology.

"It doesn’t compare to what you’d get with a gas-powered unit,” says Robert Vasquez, with Jensen and Pilegard in Clovis.

Vasquez says the shop doesn’t just sell gas-powered equipment—it also services it.

"That’s really gonna affect our business if we lose generator sales due to emissions," Vasquez says.


Authors of the bill say small off-road engines produced more emissions than cars in 2020.

Let them put panels on their property and use electric equipment. It is the future, keep in mind that the auto industry put blacksmiths out of business.

They're living in the 1800s.
They're quickly bringing back slavery.....and now they're trying to take away our electricity.

California can kiss my ass. Bunch of limp-wristed hippies...

The auto industry did not have the government working on its behalf by killing all the horses and mules

In those days the public made a choice

Funny thing about this, what ever Cali does, eventually affects the rest of the nation.

When they are short of power b/c of this, the electrical grid will shift power, making electric costs more expensive nationwide.

And of course, this will also increase production of small electric and solar panel tech, which will increase their lobbying power, which they will use to pass these types of laws in other states. . . . after these industries are firmly entrenched in Cali.

Do you have a crystal ball Mr. Nostradamus?

Don't you hate it when I highlight your idiocy?

Nah, I don't hate anything you post, I pity you for most of them. Your ignorance was based on your incapable to understand Cars replaced horses.

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

Cars replaced horses.

Without the government passing a law banning horses? Weird.

 

[Burgermeister]

Good. As business models exclude CA, it becomes less relevant.
