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.
Should Newsom sign the bill, which cleared the California State Legislature on Thursday, it could ban another gas-powered necessity: portable generators.
The Portable Generator Manufacturers’ Association warned AB 1346 could lead to a ban on the sale of portable generators in California as soon as 2024.
“No matter how well-intentioned this bill might be, it makes a critical error in equating portable generators with other small off-road engine equipment,” said Joseph Harding, technical director of PGMA.
The final amendment of the legislation asks the California Air Resources Board to consider the feasibility of a generator or emergency response phaseout based on the availability of zero-emission options but puts no restriction on banning the machines. A legislative analysis of the bill said generators were the highest source of pollution from SOREs in California.

The solution is simple: everyone must switch to electric-powered generators that run on green energy.

Hope a Kalifornicater FR can post the votes identifying names of members and districts of both chambers supporting this stupid bill.
Illogical and irrational radical extremist insanity.
I think the ‘Big One’ would settle the soundness of this stupid policy in a few good shakes.
Hands off our lifeline, a-holes!!
CARB = Commies Are Really Boring.
I believe CA has banned piping NG to to new home construction.
Kill the people, kill the people, kill the people, meanwhile lets see how many political scum have generators in their gated communities, they know nothing about the French revolution
So lets get some facts on the table.
They want to tax you by miles driven, not gasoline consumed.
They want you to have an electric car.
They want your car to be recharged by the grid and then shut down the grid when they want.
They want to prevent you from charging your own car.
... sounds like they want to take away your freedom to travel.
Anymore I’m not sure all these people are voting for them. I think the elections and the count are rigged. Cali has just perfected it and it’s rigged in the big cities where a 10% adjustment is all they need for the win.
Natural gas or diesel I guess
Do it.
People will die...
Yeah, new construction isn’t NG inclusive.
I’m not wealthy but just the same, been thinking about having a Generac installed. House is already plumbed for natural gas. Live in Texas and don’t need another one of those supposedly 100 year deep freeze ice storms. Last one cost me a butt load for reconstruction.
CARB and the equally tyrannical Coastal Commission. You will find the most vindictive and petty monsters in those two organizations.
“ The logical substitute would be a natural gas connection”.
***********
I believe I’ve read that some California cities have already banned new construction from being plumbed with natural gas…..
Yep
That,I believe, is the plan.
Government will be exempt from all of the green new deal.
The personal flight will be restricted.
Use of personal combustion engines will be restricted.
Personal travel will be restricted.
Anything that uses heavy wattage will be restricted.
It’s the only way they could possibly make green “work”
Of course it won’t really work..but our overlords don’t care.
“SORES”?
small off-road engines (SOREs)
The excerpt omitted the definition.
I would have thought campfires to have gone the way of gas grills and fireplaces?
