The California Air Resources Board (CARB) passed a regulation aimed at “Small Off-Road Engines” on Thursday that will ban the sale of portable generators in the state — which includes generators mounted in recreational vehicles.
The ruling bans the sale of gas-powered leaf blowers and lawnmowers in the state beginning in 2024. Portable generators will be required to meet more stringent standards in 2024 and meet zero-emission standards starting in 2028.
In the 2024 model year, portable generators will have to improve their efficiency by somewhere between 40% and 90%, which seems unrealistic in such a short period of time, so the reality is, it will be very hard to find a generator in Calfornia in two years.

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
Ordinary people would have gotten rid of Newsome, but you didn’t, That’s your problem.
Live with it.
We need a vaccine for that!
Well, someone could make battery-powered generators.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Or A.C. powered generators.
California aka Hell on Earth

Well, yeah. That would work too, all it would take would be for them to pass a law.
Hey, for about $25,000 you can get a hydrogen fuel cell generator that will give you about the same output as a $500-1000 gas powered generator.
Meanwhile China is polluting the environment more than all other countries combined times 10 but CA thinks this will do the trick and continues it’s march off a cliff in the name of climate change.
So CA gets into mega expensive energy contracts decades ago that drives up the cost of electricity, then they mandate 20 or 30% of the power has to come from wind and bio fuel, then push everyone to get electric cars, then ooops, rolling black outs hit, then fires force electric companies to shut down power completely and now the last thing people had, a generator is made illegal and then also have banned fireplaces.
CA is moving back to the stone ages step by step.
“I’m lucky to have installed a whole house generator already.”
They have ways to find and punish you.
Maybe a neighbor or one of your family members will turn you in for the reward.
“From now on the generators will have to be powered by batteries.”
A small generator can be run with compressed air.
Unfortunately, the compressor has to be powered by a 750 HP gasoline engine.
Well, then obviously what they need is a government subsidy for fuel cell generators.
They could stock them at the Chevrolet dealership, right next to the Volt cars. Make them a package deal, buy a Volt and get a California approved generator too.
The last Californian will be moved out and living next door to you with their goofy ideas.
Get a whole house natural gas powered Generac. Works like a dream.
To quote Goldfinger to James Bond, 🏇 We want you to die!
The thought crossed my mind “You get what you vote for”
Not that I like to see it happen, but perhaps a humdinger of a quake, taking out a good portion of the population may re-adjust the way people think and bring them back down to earth.

There's an idea!
You don't happen to be a Democrat politician do you?
The new Ford Pickups come with a built in generator. Will that option be illegal in CA?
The year is 2052 and the insanity that was California has been quarantined after the last resident died. Scientists identify microbial agent in the soil that make people insane. No further people can venture into the quarantine zone until 2082 and the military completes its demolition runs via high altitude bombing. On the up side, in China’s rush to expand territory, they have managed to contaminate most of mainland China resulting in the new -1 child policy being enforced.
