Civil rights leaders have even come out saying a switch to electricity for things like heating is going to really be a problem for those living in poverty. California has the third highest rates now. And last year they had rolling black outs. What will happen when there's an even bigger burden on electricity?
Everything they do to solve one problem creates a bigger problem, but the people voted for him. Twice.
And yet the poor will continue to vote for Democrats.

Like automotive work and some carpentry, I also do my own yard... mostly because it saves money, gives me exercise, and I do a better job anyway. All my gear was on its last legs so I decided to buy an electric mower, weed eater and blower set. That was two summers ago...
Now I wouldn't rush in to trade working gas gear, but if it's ailing you can't go wrong making the switch. This is the best lawn gear I've ever bought. It's quiet, it's nice to smell freshly cut grass instead of exhaust, and since there is no exhaust it is cool running. Only maintenance is sharpening the blades every 4-5 months-- on a cheap little Harbor Freight bench grinder.
It costs $0.05/week in electricity keeping batteries charged, and those batteries are all holding up fine. Power-wise, it's equal or slightly better than gas. After I used all this gear a couple of months it became clear to me the writing was on the wall... for normal personal urban/suburban use, gas equipment is obsolete. And I work in the oil/gas/energy industry in Texas.
Notice I said for "normal personal urban/suburban use". My lot is 9,000 square feet. If I had over 1/4 acre I'd need more batteries, and those are a huge expense (for now). I imagine this mandate could put some small commercial operations under, too. But as we all know, this business overwhelmingly uses illegal & therefore criminal alien day labor (in California and Texas for that matter). So perhaps if you cut off these jobs, the criminals will leave... And stop spreading disease too. That's good, right?
