OK! So explain how a battery powered generator works to power your house when the electric goes out?
I think its under 25hp but that means no more inexpensive generators.

Pretty soon they'll outlaw all guns...because they aren't zero emissions.

Gotta wait for that electric ray gun in 40 watt range.

But to answer folks about generators, the obvious liberal response is to build more solar and wind so there "never" will be a blackout...of course at super high cost and with unreliable grid supply

I do this for a living and due to my employer I have already switched to mainly electric equipment. It is more expensive and less powerful, we have had to make adjustments to how we work and we still sometimes have to use gas powered machines because there isn't an electric version. Single site and deep pockets have made it 90% feasible.

Golf courses, I started in that side of the business, can't be done with electric, there are no electric fairway or rough mowers.They would be better off with horse drawn. The biggest issue is turn around, 2 hours of mow time with 10-12 hours of recharge for a zero turn means you need a bunch of them or things aren't getting done. As far as I know, none of them have level two fast charging ability with lithium batteries and the infrastructure to support it doesn't exist at any golf course I am aware of.

Big charging stations ain't cheap.

Good news is that I don't see where they are taking away any gas/diesel/propane equipment. You just can't buy any new stuff. As of today, for tomorrrow? Who knows?

This is a big deal.

I guess we have a few years to prepare for the next influx of Californians.

I guess I better look at some lots or land. It will be going up.

How about motorcycles?  Did they forget all those dirt bikes Californians ride on the weekends?  I think I’ll call a California legislator and tell him to look into it.

Everyone (right and left) knows and understands exactly what you’re saying, however this law in California is not meant to curtail greenhouse gas emissions, but rather NOx which in turn will impact ozone pollution formation. This is entirely clean air act related. The majority of Californians live inside geography areas that do not meet clean air act standards.

And even though a switch to electric will increase demand, California doesn’t care because those electric generation units are outside the boundaries of the state. A huge percentage of electricity generation for Southern California comes from central Utah and Nevada.

That will do 1/4 acre before needing to be recharged.
And they will get the 4-6 hours of electricity required to recharge them from where?

Oh, I know.
They will make it a code requirement that every home have an outdoor 220v, 30-50A recepticle available (at no charge) for landscaping crews.

Nope, bicycles have too large of a carbon footprint.  I mean it takes energy to melt down that steel to make the frame, it takes a petroleum product to lube the chain, and it has tires, which are an ecological nightmare.  Shoes are out, too, to much petroleum in there.  You're going barefoot.
