California to ban small gas engines by 2024

[Langwilliams]

We don't get the light fluffy snow here maybe that's why I haven't seen them yet. The crap here is so heavy it clogs up the snow thrower shoots. I delivered mail an the snow was so heavy when they plowed the streets the flying snow would rip down mailboxes.

Well at least up here in OUR wonderful RUST belt (but at least the earthquakes are at a min)
if they want to ban small engines why not just rip the bandage off completely & stop selling gas & diesel fuel too.

sure "people" are all for it come on though does this mean no RC planes & cars too?

This reminds me.. When I was a kid we build these by ourself. I remember that I made a 5 foot wide plane, carved all the struts, leading edge slats and support beams and coated it with silk paper. Had a three feet rubber band and it flew nicely for few hundred yards. And this was normal stuff back then.

Nowdays people just buy crap like this from store for their kids. It's used once and trashed afterwards.

soo, they can't supply their current power needs, and have rolling black outs, now they want to lead the nation in electric cars, and get rid of all small engines? good luck powering that.

With all these catalytic converters they’re stealing I see a new business endeavor starting. Make your weed wacker green with a simple mod! ?

I agree change can be great BUT I feel they are pushing it too hard too fast. My son loves his electric lawnmower. He has a suburb lot. My daughter has 4.5 acres an an electric mower for that is more than an entry level car. People are going to go broke replacing everything at once, an in most cases replacing something that's working well.

I don't know if the order bans their use or their sale. If it just bans their sale that's a little better since every piece of lawn equipment will need to be replaced at some point (except for 60's cub garden tractors, those run forever) so it won't be a killer all at once on a family budget.

This current push to green energy is too much too fast IMO. There's already summer power shortages without half the country plugging their car in every night. The technology isn't good enough yet or affordable.

I watched a special on Smithsonian an they showed the "Nevada 1" solar power plant. That channel loves green energy an pushes the green agenda. Nevada 1 is the size of a conventional power plant but only produces one seventh of the power of one. It had to be hard for Smithsonian to admit that. That's in the southwest desert, the best location in the US. Image that plant in Maine or North Dakota, people would freeze. I live near Cleveland an in December it's only sunny for about 5 days an the sun set's at 5.

I'm not against green energy but I want them to pump the brakes on this massive shift we're not remotely ready for.

It may seem like a "push" and "too fast" to some, but the fact is we're way behind the curve at this point. We should have been actively pursuing a more environmentally kind lifestyle 50 years ago. We have wasted quite a bit of time fighting inevitability...so a few quick steps in the right direction are a small price to pay. While you and I might not see or feel a benefit I assure you, our grandchildren will...and they need a world to live in too.
I am anxiously awaiting an EV Ranger 4X4.

Doesn't make fuxk all of a difference banning small engines If people can produce unlimited filthy offspring.
