(Tongue in cheek)

Naaah, California will just import more illegal migrants, pay them a pittance and give them all push mowers.

Climate conscience is clear and problem solved.

Why does the outrage machine always leave out important details? Details which are found in the linked article.

This law takes effect in 2024, or whenever feasible, whichever date is later. California is also going to subsidize small businesses to help them retool. This is the first step in an effort to move to lower emission items, which is a great goal.

you really have no clue...or know how to do crap...do you?

charge up one of those toys and go to work....see how long it lasts...and how many backup batteries you have to carry to do a days work

...then figure out where to put those batteries when they crap out on you and have to be chucked

..that's only 3 more years

You should see the existing permitting process in San Diego County for the installation of a backup generator, you will be astounded and disgusted.......even more so when they were written at the direction and adopted by a 4-1 Republican majority in the County Board of Supervisors.
