The state of California is now reportedly set to completely ban the sale of all gas powered lawnmowers and leaf blowers as well as other gas-powered lawn and generator equipment in an attempt to fight ‘climate change.’
As The Hill reports:
California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) signed a bill on Saturday that moves to ban gas-powered lawn equipment in the state — including lawn mowers and leaf blowers — in an effort to limit air pollution.
The bill directs state regulators to stop selling gas-powered equipment that has small off-road engines by Jan. 1, 2024, or once the California Air Resources Board says such a law is “feasible,” whichever date comes later.
The law also calls for new portable gas-powered generators to be zero-emission by 2028, according to the Los Angeles Times. That deadline, however, could be pushed back by the state board.
Gas-powered equipment with small off-road engines produce a similar amount of smog-causing pollution as light-duty passenger cars create in California, according to the Times, which is why lawmakers are working to curb emissions that come from those tools.
The state has reportedly put $30 million dollars toward helping gardeners switch away from gas-powered machinery.
I s’pose we’re going to pile our guns on top of those mowers. Once liberals taste blood in the Constitutional waters, they’ll crank out mandates for anything they like, and we’ll be obliged to comply with those mandates. Standing up to these power-drunk, misanthropic whiners is the only way we’ll stem the process of liberal usurpation of our rights, and confiscation of our property.
My wife and I left California to get away from the socialist and communist destroy this once great state with their loony laws. I was born and raised in Southern California during the 40ties and early 50ties when living their was great. My wife was born in Utah but grew up in Northern California. When we retired we moved to Utah. Life has been great so far. No lockdowns like the Blue States are mandating. My major gripe with Californians moving here is that they bring the same leftist mind set with them and try to turn Utah blue. I agree with your comments David. 2022 we must take back the House and Senate to stop Biden’s communist agenda as he tries to destroy our Great and Exceptional Country.
states are mandating.
Les (my dad’s name, my son’s name…) I could not POSSIBLY agree with you more, living here (retired) in the stunning northwest Arkansas Ozarks… Folks are flocking here from liberal Marxist sewer states, and who can blame them? Just don’t turn your refuge into the same thing from which you fled. You will NOT be embraced by those of us who preceded you here!!
ANY lib-TARD transplant should be VETTED. Then (once found to NOT be a Free-SH1T BUM, and granted the PRIVILEGE of entry) be allowed to set up housekeeping, NOT be allowed ANY Free-SH1T, and NOT allowed the PRIVILEGE of voting – for TEN YEARS.
If th’ lib-TARD doesn’t like it, then he/she/IT needs to find himself/herself or ITself another state to infest…
Let’s start calling a spade a spade. Commies are RED, true Americans are BLUE. These leftists have even hijacked our American identification with their Ministry of Truth, the popular media, where white is black and black is white.
We must combat left-think!
Ahhh but don’t worry. Never fear, for the new machines will be powered from the farts of extinct purple unicorns, to be imported from the next dimension. Sorry, my tinfoil hat just slipped.
AOC will find a use for the farting cows that seems to trouble her She probably had a bad experience while standing behind a cow during a school field trip when she was in school
And if the machines do emit that sort of gas, you can name them AOC.s 🙂
What about boats too.. just sayin being on the ocean I bet there are plenty of boats. Oh and airplanes, I bet LA Airport really puts out the smog… let’s ban those too… If we leave LA alone they will shut them sleves down in a few years then we can take over and make it right… just sit and watch
these idiots have gone to far they need to be beat like a rabid dog
His Excellency Dictator Goblin Nuisance needs a gas-powered roto-rooter to ream out his… …ah well, you have a good idea.
Just when you begin to think things couldn’t get more screwed up in California, that stooge in the governor’s office proves you wrong. No wonder there are so many people leaving that state.
I have a gas powered mower, when I need a new one I will by another gas one. Go screw Newsom
Let’s go Neumam (Alfred E. Newsom)! How many of you remember Alfred E Neuman from between the late 50s and early 60s?
will that ban apply to his properties and Auntie Nancy’s or will he exempt them?
What a stupid law. Guaranteed they cheated when they voted on that idiot in office. Newsom
These idiots think they were elected to rule over us like Royalty. Newsom can eat a pile. When I bought the gas lawn mower the state got sales taxes out of me.Now they outlaw it?Give me all my money back including the price of lawnmower. And then go to hell.
And how does this mower ban stack up against the “Climate Czar” Kerry’s jet setting in a private plane?
you got peloser and schumer and all the other demscum to blame and of course the stupid ass people who vote them in,STUPID IS AS STUPID DOES,DUH.
Banning gas powered lawn mowers to be replaced with electric ones. OK, but where am I going to find an electric generator to power my needs when the electric power goes out or when I need power at a job site?
I guess it doesn’t matter if your costs double and you are rich. Lots of small business owners are ‘out of business’ and moderate income folks won’t be able to afford gardeners. Thank you to Gavin and his nasty buddies.
Stupid Asses
Good news, California deserves itself! The insanity of toxic liberalism on open display! The Democrat’s version of extremist liberalism has become a cancer on our society
Hey california! How do like your governor now?
A very Close LIBERAL friend tols me a couple of days ago…..
quote……
U conservatives are a bunch of idiots…..Why? Our folks, cheated in the last elections. Yes…we have become SMARTER… We will CHEAT (wholesale) AGAIN, & you FOLKS WOULD NOT REALIZE IT, UNTIL AT LEAST, A YEAR AFTER THE ELECTIONS. Go Figure…!
unquote…….
May I ask?……Is anything being done, to prevent this, (if it is true?)
Evil Prevails…..THE DEVIL HAS HIS REIGN…….PERIOD.
NEWSOM, should change his name to “devilsom” LOL
I live on east coast and they that east coast I will never ever mow the lawn again
What an ass. He’s out of his mind. How do we cut grass. He has no clue. But, that’s par for the course in Lala land. Idiotic.
I suppose we should also stop all that gas powered farm equipment while we are at it? Then those polluting farmers can’t raise food? What a bunch of idiots we have in office. I’ve never seen it so bad in all my years.
Anyone who actually uses a lawn mower knows that electric ones are c**p. The sad thing is, the stores will obey their Master Enslaver Newsome and so will the people. Rather than say NO!, they will grumble and whine, then put out their hands for the money crumbs and do what they’re told like good little lemmings. We need people with backbones to stand firm and say NO!
Californian has now really and truly gone down the rat hole! (Not rabbit hole) RAT HOLE The sewers. Why not just remove the king Rat? And for that matter the LA Mayor as well
Californians re elected this moron, or did they?
Why not just ban landscaping? Don’t all those poor plants have feelings to? What gives people the right to decide how their trees or shrubs should grow anyway? And what if that Azalea identifies as a hydrangea? Who are we to interfere in the way it wants to express itself?
Liberalism truly is a mental disease.
This would have any effect if Kalifornia was contained in a dome, since it is not, it is only making people pay more money for things.
just when you got to the point where you think that state couldn’t get any stupider – SURPRISE!
What are you going to do with all the expended batteries? They are not recycled. Like the expended refrigerators found along the roadside, you will see millions of batteries.
This is what you get for keeping that idiot in as governor. You gonna use electric? You don’t have enough of that now. And what happens when you have to drive electric cars that have to be charged? Even less power to be used. You had better do another recall election and not have it all mail in and last for a month like the last one. Do you not realize how much opportunity for fraud that created?
and biden says he wants to help the poor families, who does he think cut the lawns and does the dirty jobs, believe me not the rich kids.
Don’t blame me. I voted for the recall.
The prohibition on Small Off-Road Engines set to take effect in 2024 would apply to stationary generators at, say, hospitals or police stations or fire stations — or your back yard. I sent a letter to my assemblywoman to ask her what she’s doing to prevent that. No reply. What about concrete pumpers? Air compressors that road crews use to power their jack hammers? Garden waste chippers? ….
Cancel California
Grayfox41,
Let’s go Neumam (Alfred E. Newsom)! How many of you remember Alfred E Neuman from between the late 50s and early 60s?
What me worry?
That has been our attitude the whole time the NeuCommies were taking over. Now we have few options to reclaim America. They own our schools, our courts, our police, our military (our whole government), our news and entertainment, our . . . oh wait, none of that is ours anymore, except the taxes to pay them!
