Another new generator ban bill in legislation in
California. This will take effect middle of next year. Not good. Here's the link. Sign here! Will not be able to use air conditioner since having lung issues if passes...

Is it a purchase ban or a use ban?
well my understanding a sales ban, but only when technology exists for an adequate replacement. Now for things like the small handheld home use leaf blowers, lawn mowers, weed wackers battery equivalents or better already exist. My Sthil electric mower and leaf blower are better than the the gas ones they replaced. And they are way quieter and don't need to worry about gas going old. Sometimes new technology is actually better! Still not their yet for lawn service w/o a big stash of batteries to recharge every night. Nor for my gas blower that is hooked up as a shreader.
Not there yet for comercial lawn service applications, nor for a alternative for any reasonable sized generator.
Personally I think the media is making a mountain out of a molehill on the generator side of things.
Reminds me of the uproar when 2 stroke off road bikes needed to meet much stricter emissions requirements and 4 strokes had to meet much stricker emission. The world was going to end and the end of off road motorcycling. fast forward a few years and (1) industry went to fuel and oil injected 2 strokes with better performance and lower emissions, and (2) 4 stroke FI off road motorcycles with amazing performance and power while being street legal came into play. My 2021 FI street legal dirt bike is a better performing bike than my older non street legal 4 stroke carb bike was.
