Newsom Signs Bill Banning Single-use Propane Cylinders for Camping
Breitbart ^ | 09/26/2024 | Joel B. Pollak

California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) signed a bill this week to ban one-pound, single-use propane cylinders, meaning that only more expensive reusable cylinders will be available in the state.

The San Francisco Chronicle reported:

Disposable propane canisters like the dark green ones used with camping stoves will soon be phased out in California, after Gov. Gavin Newsom signed legislation Sunday requiring all one-pound cylinders sold in the state to be reusable or refillable starting in 2028.

Between 4 million and 7 million of the single-use cylinders are sold in California each year, according to an estimate from the California Product Stewardship Council, a nonprofit local government coalition that sponsored the bill.

In 2022, Newsom vetoed a near-identical bill, SB 1256. In his veto letter, Newsom raised concerns about prohibiting sales of disposable cylinders “without a plan for collection and refill infrastructure.” The governor also urged the legislature to consider “market-based solutions” over an outright ban.

I have always loved that quote, but I might alter it a bit...

“A Leftist is someone who wakes up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat knowing that somewhere, somehow, somebody is enjoying something they don’t like.”

PEX saved me the cost of a plumber. The copper compression system is nice though, I have watched videos of a plumber based out of NYC , he uses that system. According to him , customers always ask for more than they’re willing to pay for. 😂

The damn things can be refilled with a simple coupling, pair of pliers, and a big tank turned upside down. Create a refilling station for them. I can do it at home.

Does anyone want to live in California?

I didn't and moved out. Unfortunately, the same people who destroyed CA are moving here and destroying my new state. They apparently have difficulty figuring out cause from effect. Soon everyplace will be like CA, with nowhere else to move to.

Hahah they aren’t “single use” I refill mine all the time.

But more stupidity from California.

THey are METAL.. they rust... definitely more eco friendly that plastics are.

“See if there is a propane wholesaler near you who can inspect and recertify them.”

I checked again and the nearest recertifier is 50 miles away. I could buy new tanks for not too much but, as I said, I just want emergency propane. Maybe I’ll throw them away or cut them in half and use the bottom halves for a planters.

Our case is different — much different.

And ALL damage (we have had very little) is the renters responsibility as they purchase insurance and they are responsible.

I refill my 20# tanks at Tractor Supply where they check the date on the tank. (They rust internally and the weakening cannot be seen from the outside)

If a tank is too old they will NOT refill it.

So I take it to Walmart where they do NOT check the date, but merely swap tanks with you. (I assume the refill company checks the date at it’s location.)

I get a newer tank for WAY less than buying a new one.

“I refill my 20# tanks at Tractor Supply”

Mine are also 20# tanks.
