In an effort to limit greenhouse gas emissions, the California Air Resources Board (CARB) voted this month to ban the sale of new off-road engines such as those found in leaf blowers, lawn mowers and other equipment by 2024. The ruling also bans portable generators by requiring new models to meet more stringent standards in 2024 and meet zero-emission standards starting in 2028.

Those are the ones available at at state run generator store, the good ones, a little more expensive found exclusively at high end generator boutiques will have 3 models. Good, better, best!
Good-powered with a retractable windmill
Better-powered by a Solyndra photovoltaic mini-panel
Best-powered with a dual fuel system of the wind/photovoltaic panel
Don’t wait, save thousands! Preorder at 1-800-968-2487 (1-800-YOU-CHUMP)
As long as gas cars are legal you have a generator.
I will gladly continue to use my 62”, gas powered Zero turn lawn tractor. I love mowing my two-acre yard at 25 MPH!
Ha! LOL. 😊
“The ruling also bans portable generators by requiring new models to meet more stringent standards”
Hey, requiring them to meet higher standards is not banning them.
Regardless of that, California is crazy!
Stupid law, but what’s to stop Kalis just driving over to Nevada or Oregon and buy them there?
Most folks have smaller acreage. Get a tractor for large acreage.
I have an Ego snowblower. So much easier than the clunky gas models.
You can bet the politicians all have emergency generators at their houses.
Gotta get those portable battery generators that I’ve seen at Costco.
For some reason they don’t seem to sell.
Because they put out too little power to be really useful.
The larger one $2100 looks pretty good.
Fer sure. Even old dead used mowers will be coming into the state. Result will be even more green house gas. Ha.
“...portable generators by requiring new models to meet more stringent standards in 2024 and meet zero-emission standards starting in 2028.”
Electric powered storm generators?
You will be cuffed and stuffed if the LAW sees you out mowing your lawn. Your communist neighbors have the fuzz on speed dial. Its more of a crime to violate environmental standards than it is to murder someone in California. You can tell this by the lack of gangland hoods in the lockup. The cops aint gonna try to aprehend someone they know is violent and they face racial persecution if the arrest them. You are just a poor white slob trying to keep his property looking nice.
FREEZE SCUMBAG !!
If republicans get the house, senate, and wh in 2024 they should pass legislation banning states from passing these type of energy laws
Do fools still build new houses and structures out there? Our guys can use power tools when they crank up the generator.
Plug into a tree to recharge. I, maybe the only one on the planet, prefer corded tools. They are always ready, always powerful. If I really need power, I use air-driven tools. You may be surprised to learn that there aren’t any battery powered air compressors adequate for that purpose.
Next republican president needs to Exex Order the EV Assistance Plan. In order to assist americans in their efforts to charge their electric vehicles and electric yard tools etc…. The government hereby gives every single family home owner a new 6000 watt gasoline powered generator/inverter.
I now have two Stihl battery operated tools. A hedge trimmer and a chainsaw. Eventually, I will buy a string trimmer too.
These are good “homeowner” type tools. I have 12 acres. About 2 of that lawn and fields. I have multiple mowers, snowblowers, and tractors.
The hedge trimmer is great because I literally use it two days/year. The battery chain saw is great for trimming branches or cutting down a tree 6” in diameter or less.
I still have a 2 cycle Stihl chainsaw I use for cutting bigger trees. I will always have a larger lawn tractor or zero turn to cut 2 acres of lawns and fields.
However, battery powered are not appropriate for professional landscapers that use a commercial mower 7 hours/day.
