Congratulations Newsom
Oct 26 2021 03:13PM more by Grumpy_Butthead
Tags: Random

California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a bill into law on Saturday that will phase out the sale of gas-powered leaf blowers, lawn mowers and other small off-road engines by as soon as 2024. Assembly Bill 1346 directs the California Air Resources Board to phase out the sale of small off-road engines by 2024 or as soon as feasible, whichever comes later. The new law also directs the board to identify and make available, where feasible, funding for commercial rebates to go toward the purchase of electric equipment. Newsom's signature comes a year after he signed an executive order phasing out the sale of gas-powered vehicles by 2035.


Be sure and put in for your free electric powered generator.

No, but he will tax surfboards and hang gliders.

Unfortunately he has the support of the vast majority of the people in this state, so this is presumably what the people want. I really wish I could leave it, but born and raised here and all my family is here too, so I guess I'm just going to go down with the sinking ship.

^^^^^. Do you own a battery operated lawn mower, edger, and leaf blower?
I do and remembering to keep the batteries charged is not easy. Sometimes
My lawn is only half mowed.

I was born in CROC a long time ago. Sold everything and said AMF.
Now the Cali libs can do whatever they desire. .
By the way is that train done?
Do you have enough electricity?
Is there water rationing?

Maybe the libturds could build water reservoirs and catch the rain and hold it??
Or you could have an abandoned train to nowhere..
Let the dems decide.

Just so bad here. 5th largest economy in the World. Our houses are worth millions. Best weather in the US.

And you are mad about gardening tools?

Fucking move.

Like you have ever given a shit enough to sit with your gardener and share lunch and a beer with him.

Just bitch. Don't call your assembly person or write an opinion piece. Just stand on the sidelines and throw gasoline.

And yes, i have made lunch and had my gardener, his wife and helper in my house. Have you?

BTW. I'm giving him a 100 dollar bonus to assist in offsetting the cost of his new required equipment.

Have you ever used a gas powered blower? All you breath are exhaust fumes.

But please stay on the sidelines and continue this circle jerk.

Hyder
Good luck with the 5th largest since major companies are leaving.
By the way everyone is glad you are staying in CROC and helping anyway you can.
Where will all the electricity be coming from to charge the batteries on this units or power them.
Last I checked there was an electricity shortage in CROC.
So who needs gardening and such in the summer?
I didn't have a lawn since I lived on Balboa Island.

Everybody will just go to AZ to buy stuff like they do now....and bring it back to California.... Our politicians are all a-holes... Ignore crime, people on the street, illegal border crossings, filth everywhere... But outlawing gas powered garden equipment YES...
Any of the electric powered gardening tools all suck, no matter what you pay for them. Where are all the batteries going to go... 80% trash, 20% recycle...

"all i see are complaints and partisan attacks......yet no reason why it is a bad idea. probably you dont have one other than the fact N is a dem. yeah, that sounds about riight."

There's a mile long list of Newsome fuckups, shenanigans, thievery and Union control.
This is not partisan and I couldn't care less if he had a D or an R after his name.
Read his book, then look at where he is now on the issues
2 different guys, basically he sold out
That's an undeniable fact
The train, the schools, the EDD, the list is endless

Those of you who can't or won't acknowledge that reality?
You're the brain dead partisan

California Environmental Protection Agency, Air Resource Board.
A Report To The California Legislature on The Potential Health And Environmental
Impacts of Leaf Blowers. February 2000

Page 7 Section B
-The leaf blower was invented by Japanese engineers in the early 1970s and introduced to
the United States as a lawn and garden maintenance tool
-Soon after the leaf blower was introduced into the U.S., its use was banned in two
California cities, Carmel-by-the-Sea in 1975 and Beverly Hills in 1978, as a noise nuisance
-By 1990, the number of California cities that had banned the use of leaf
blowers was up to five. There are currently twenty California cities that have banned leaf blowers,
sometimes only within residential neighborhoods and usually targeting gasoline-powered
equipment. Another 80 cities have ordinances on the books restricting either usage or noise level
or both.

Page 12 Section A1
-A major disadvantage of two-stroke engines is high exhaust emissions. Typical two-stroke
designs feed more of the fuel/oil mixture than is necessary into the combustion chamber.
-The major pollutants from a two-stroke engine are,
therefore, oil-based particulates, a mixture of hydrocarbons, and carbon monoxide

Page 13 Section 2A
-The best estimates available indicate that there are approximately 410,000 gasoline-
powered blowers in use in the state today. Less than 5,000 of those use four-stroke engines; the
remainder (99%) utilize two-stroke engines.

Page 16 Section 4
Exhaust emissions from leaf blowers consist of the following specific pollutants of
concern: hydrocarbons from both burned and unburned fuel, and which combine with other gases
in the atmosphere to form ozone; carbon monoxide; fine particulate matter; and other toxic air
contaminants, including benzene, 1,3-butadiene, acetaldehyde, and formaldehyde

Page 33 Section 5A
bystander exposure, with the receiver 50 ft from the blower 62 dBA to 75 dBA

Page 34 Section 5B
Operator Noise Exposure 88.6 to 101.3 dBA
